Hairon, a 14-year-old boy, is fascinated by women’s clothes. He wears high heels and make-up, and puts on fake nails. Living in a small Danish town with his Brazilian mother, his Danish stepfather, and four younger brothers, his dress is quite a challenge for everyone. Hairon looks forward to a trip to Brazil to see his biological father, Marchello. While in Brazil, he plans to prepare a costume for his upcoming fifteenth birthday party, where he will dress up as Cleopatra. But Marchello is not happy to see Hairon’s obsession with fashion and the way he looks. He shares with his son his own story of growing up confused about his sexuality. Screening supported by the Danish Film Institute.
