BOYLESQUE
Lulla la Polaca (born in 1938) is the oldest Polish drag queen. Hiding behind this stage persona is Andrzej who, despite the prevailing atmosphere in the country, has always fought for the right to individual expression. The documentary shows his more private side: the one of a sensitive dreamer. He is someone who can enjoy life and find his own way in the world of dating portals. At the same time, immersed in the past, he is slowly preparing himself for death. He is doing it, however, with a lot of fantasy and self-irony, treating his presence in front of the camera like another virtuoso performance.
