SYNOPSIS
This documentary explores a well-known drag bar in Chengdu, China and records a slice of the life of three drag queen dancers, on and off stage.
Sister Sha, first love of the bar owner and now the joke of the troupe, still practices and manages to dance at the age of 47. Qingqing, the famous veteran dancer, accidentally married a girl and became the father of a baby girl. Xixi, the rising star, delicately maintains a relationship with his lesbian girlfriend, and plans a marriage for their parents.
Every night from 10 PM, they become the opposite sex for 90 minutes, to play a ballet or to play a folk dance, for a life or for a living. Year by year, peach blossoms the same, while smiling faces are different.
