Synopsis

Massi, Adrien, Lylybeth, and Joy are four non-binary artists at a turning point in their careers on a booming drag scene in Brussels. While this chosen family is close-knit and supportive, their blood relatives often have difficulty understanding their identity and their work. Many truths and emotions remain unspoken.

Their daily challenges serve as inspiration for their shows, which can be gloomy, hilarious, or both. They can express their gender identity while performing, as well as it being their livelihood and the place from where they can draw the energy to break through into our society. Over the course of increasingly remarkable shows, a quest for identity and artistic recognition emerges. These artists aspire to something fundamental: the need to embrace who we are and, above all, to be accepted for who we are.
