Jolanda, a retired archivist, has treasured memories of his beloved friend Mummo for decades. In 1979 they performed together in Finland’s first drag show Happy Gays. Now, together with a filmmaker, Jolanda invites a new generation of queer drag artists to re-enact their friendship.

As the performers explore Jolanda’s past and the challenges he faced as an outsider, they realize their freedom and pride are rooted in the struggles of those who came before them.
