## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A man in a dress playing a woman pretending to be a man sings about life being perfectly clear, which feels like the film’s idea of modesty.  
A broke soprano takes a job as a drag act in 1930s Paris and lands in the arms of a skeptical gangster who’s not sure what to do with his suddenly wobbly libido.  
It’s less about gender and more about who’s buying dinner – and also there are musical numbers, so you get your money’s worth.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, playful, sexy
