"A jagged shard of a film, an underground dream of longing and despair..."Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

"You will walk away from Matsumoto's film with a newfound appreciation of what movies can be."Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com

"A cheeky and provocative experimental look at a largely unknown subculture."John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

In a gay bar in Tokyo, the owner Gondo has hired drag queens to service his customers. Gondo is drawn to his newest star: the young and modern drag queen Eddie. Eddie is, however, already involved with Leda, the madame of the club who is in charge of the staff. A complex love triangle ensues, riddled with jealousy, insecurity and unresolved past events.
