The(ir) Blurb...

This film documents the creation and self-destruction of the filmmakers ‘biologically-challenged drag-queen’ alter-ego Miss Liliane. The film theatricalizes the experience of being gender-queer and attempts to negotiate restrictive gender-roles by performing symbolic rituals. Despite this, the inability of their mind to comfortably inhabit any predefined role causes them to get trapped in an endless loop of repeated, pointless gestures.
