A rookie drag queen nursing heartbreak returns to the countryside, where his ailing grandmother fights to keep her independence and her spark.
Heartbroken and adrift, a rookie drag queen flees city life for the quiet countryside, only to find his grandmother fading fast but fiercely resisting the nursing home. As the two misfits reconnect, sequins meet slippers in a tender, funny, and deeply human story about identity, aging, and the healing power of family, proving that love and pride have no expiration date.
Rialto Recommends: Jump Darling. A film bursting with warmth, wit, and heart. This intergenerational gem celebrates chosen family, queer resilience, and the courage to keep shining, even when the spotlight fades. A touching dramedy that reminds us it’s never too late to rediscover who we are.
