After drag queen Natchan dies, three of her friends travel together to her funeral at the family home. One thing makes the grieving process even more difficult: Natchan was not out of the closet to her family, which divides the opinions of the group. A fun, feel-good road movie with deliciously campy drag performances in the spirit of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Nadat een dragqueen genaamd Natchan overlijdt, komt een aantal van haar vrienden ter nagedachtenis samen om een reis te ondernemen. Het rouwproces wordt bemoeilijkt doordat Natchan nog niet uit de kast was bij haar familie, wat de verhoudingen in de groep op de spits drijft. Fijne feelgood roadmovie, met heerlijke campy drag performances, in de geest van Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
