(les reines du drame)
The year is 2055. The overly botoxed YouTuber Steevyshady recounts the dramatic fate of his idol, pop diva Mimi Madamour, from the height of her fame in 2005 to her descent into hell, precipitated by her love affair with queer punk icon Billie Kohler. For half a century, these drama queens have sung their passion and anger into the spotlight.
With references to pop from the 2000s-2010s, TV from the 1990s and cinema from the 1970s, as well as Douglas Sirk and Billy Wilder, this is a rousing camp, queer film experience with great sensibilities that is already a cult classic.
