Zdena, a woman in her mid-fifties, lives in a small Czech village near the Slovakian border. Her quiet life is disrupted when her son, Lukáš, returns home from abroad, claiming to have found success on the Canary Islands. Lukáš’s return is prompted by a peculiar request from Zdena’s elderly mother, Věra, who, nearing the end of her life, asks for a visit from Czech pop singer Helena Vondráčková. This request triggers events that expose Lukáš’s secret life as a drag queen, testing family bonds and challenging the social norms of their rural environment.

First sins of early childhood, boyish adventures, excitements of the first love, imaginative mischiefs and conflicts with the world of adults… A kind of Tom Sawyer-like adventures of the two boys from a small Serbian town in the 1950s.
