A group of ageing drag artists set out on one final tour. Time has left its mark, but when the spotlights come on all is forgotten.

synopsis

A documentary following a group of ageing drag artists who set out, one last time, to relive their once glamorous lives by touring their play 'Gardenia' around Europe and Southeast Asia. Time has left its physical traces: their hair has grown a little thinner, their bellies a little bigger and their butts a little slacker. But when the spotlights are on all of that is forgotten and the glittery stage life of make-up, silk stockings and feather boas begins, transforming them from ordinary humans into stage divas.
