It´s colourful, vibrant and spectacular: Teddy, Sun and Xyza have brought the vogueing and ballroom culture that once evolved in New York to Southeast Asia. They call their dancegroups houses. And these are more than just safe havens from homophobia, transphobia, color discrimination and HIV stigma. These houses are the families they always yearned for after growing up under difficult circumstances. These ballroom dancers just warm our hearts with their dedication to what they love and need: a family that supports them. This warmhearted celebration of diversity and acceptance by Singapore based director Sze-Wei Chan premiered at Busan IFF with overwhelming success.
