A wistful, hand-drawn meditation on queer memory and belonging, framed through a former drag queen's recollection of a legendary Parisian bar during wartime.

In 1942, on a train to nowhere, a former drag queen remembers a night from her past in one of Paris’ first queer bars. Remnants of customer gossip recall this mythic bar and its mysterious Jewish-Algerian owner.
