Femme

Synopsis

Jules’s life and career as a drag queen is destroyed in a humiliating homophobic attack. When he re-encounters one of his attackers, the deeply-closeted Preston, in a gay sauna, he is presented with a chance to exact revenge. Unrecognisable in his boy form, Jules insinuates himself into Preston’s life, but in so doing discovers power in a new kind of drag. What unfolds is a dangerous seduction that risks discovery and backlash at every moment.
