With his performances as Aphrodite Banks, Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Candyman) has a place among London’s celebrated drag artists. One night, after a show, he steps out to get some cigarettes and is brutally attacked by a man (George MacKay, 1917) out with a gang of his friends. Although Jules is able to recover physically, he withdraws from the outside world, traumatized. Months later, he recognizes his attacker by chance in a gay sauna. Without make-up and wrapped only in a towel, Jules is able to approach the other man incognito and find out who he is. He begins an affair with the closeted Preston with a plan to take his revenge.
Directed by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, the film stars Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, George MacKay, Aaron Heffernan, John McCrea, and Asha Reid.
Femme is in theaters on March 22nd in New York, March 29th in Los Angeles and Chicago, and expands nationwide on April 5th.
