FIND YOUR VOICE.Â
In Havana, young Jesus (HĂ©ctor Medina) is gay and hoping for a career as a dragshow performer, but his drunken father (Jorge PerugorrĂa) whom he hasn’t seen since he was a kid makes a dramatic appearance… An Irish film entirely set in Cuba where we follow a teenager who’s trying to find himself. His fledgling dragshow act is challenged by his dad, a former boxer who’s angry to see his son feminized in that way. Watching Jesus be dominated by a man who has no right to ask anything of him is a frustrating, uneven experience (much like the film itself), but clearly part of what makes the teenager stand up for himself.
