Storyline

Nicole and Jean-Marie Kunstler are a nice, hard working couple who have been married for 15 years. They operate a dry cleaning business that keeps them both too busy to take a vacation, or to change their routine. A fateful trip to a drag club leads them to encounter Loic and Marilyn, a brother-sister drag queen performing team. Their shows fascinate the couple, as both Nicole and Jean-Marie find themselves growing more and more attached to Loic. Loic brings to the surface all of their suppressed desires and emotions - willingly and unwillingly. A psychological examination into the effects one attractive young man's entrance into the lives of an ordinarily seeming couple could have. Written by Tracy <tjc217@is2.nyu.edu>

Truly Bizarre
29 October 2003 | by (Antwerpen, Belgium) – See all my reviews

When I first saw this it were, believe it or not, my dad who recommended this, so I started watching and actually found it rather exciting. A middle-aged couple meets a younger man and his sister on a nightclub. The sister takes off with her boyfriend but the guy comes, after have been beaten several times, and stays with them. Short after, he starts working in they´re dry cleaning shop and everybody loves him, even though he has bizarre things in mind and makes an effort to both of them...
