Three Ukrainian drag queens—Marlene, Monroe, and Aura—choose to remain in their war-torn country, fighting for LGBTQ+ inclusion amid Russia's invasion. Spanning from the 2014 Maidan Revolution to spring 2024, their story blends the glamour of drag with the brutality of war. Marlene, a beloved drag icon, hides a vulnerable side as Alexander, grappling with trauma and family obligations. Monroe, a popular influencer, navigates her evolving gender identity while advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Aura, determined to fight for inclusion in both the military and society, balances the chaos of war with her love for drag. A charity drag show becomes a powerful moment of unity and resilience. The film is a story of self-discovery, love, hope, and the power to find joy even in the darkest of times.
