Solo

Emerging drag queen Simon begins a passionate, yet destructive relationship with an alluring new man, as his mother re-enters his life after 15 years

Montreal drag queen Simon’s star is on the rise, equally at home with his family and the loving community of his local club. When he meets alluring new recruit Oliver, their chemistry ignites an electric romance and dynamic creative partnership - but their relationship soon turns destructive. At the same time, Simon’s mother, a famous opera diva, re-enters his life after a 15-year absence.

Sophie Dupuis’s film is a swirling, celebratory love-letter to the world of drag in all its fabulousness and heartache. What sets it apart is its willingness to also confront darker themes - notably coercive control and crippling confidence - subjects rarely explored in contemporary queer cinema.
