Overview

Jules’ (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack. But after a chance encounter with his attacker, the deeply closeted Preston (George MacKay), he is presented with the opportunity to exact revenge. Unrecognisable out of his wig and make-up, Jules infiltrates Preston’s life and in doing so discovers the lines of seduction, revenge and power become blurred.

Directors Ng Choon Ping and Sam H. Freeman adapt their eponymous, Bafta-nominated short (which also played BFI London Film Festival 2021) for this provocative, intense and stylish thriller, boasting a pair of superb performances from its two leads.
