About

When her dying mother makes a final wish, a Czech postwoman summons her son home from France, where he performs as drag queen Chica Checa.

Zdena (Pavla Tomicová) is a widowed postwoman in a small Czech village, where she looks after her dying mother, Věra (Věra Janků), and keeps in touch with her son Lukáš (Jan Cina), who says he is doing well in France. When Věra expresses a final wish, Zdena asks Lukáš to come home. His return brings more to light than expected: in Paris he has a queer life and performs as the drag queen Chica Checa. The film is directed by Šimon Holý and is a Czech-French co-production.
