After decades of lies, resentments and stolen identities, a Muslim mother confronts her drag queen son for her long overdue moment in the spotlight. Mother's husband and Son's father has just died. Mother is losing everything; her house, her glamour, her visibility. Son is profiting from grief; a drag queen who wins the applause his mother has never received. Whilst he has the spotlight, she is erased. He exaggerates stories of his mother, bartering in Islamophobic tropes to win white peoples’ sympathy. Her life is being re-written by her son – and he does it dressed as her. Like Medea before her, Mother decides to claim what is hers – her voice, her identity, her story, her trauma. She confronts her son backstage for a show. A tragic Greek confrontation ensues, where intergenerational curses are finally broken, and Mother claims what she feels is rightfully hers. Her womanhood, her spotlight, her moment. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025 - World premiere Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2025
