A documentary that follows the story of Baptiste, a young man who, through drag, explores a new side of himself as he undergoes both a physical and emotional transformation. The art of drag becomes a means of expression, resilience, and self-affirmation. Through his perspective, the film questions the notions of identity, performance, and metamorphosis, while celebrating the liberating power of drag.
