In the gray port town of Dieppe in northern France, one day fisherman Erwan walks into cabaret “The Bearded Mermaid”, a brand new world of glitter and show. He embraces it with both arms, and with him we enter the dressing rooms, and the joys and sorrows of the drag artists.
While nowadays for many people “drag” is defined by the perfection of RuPaul, this charming film gives a warm portrait of the messy, but self-chosen family of this - really existing! - small town cabaret.
