Madame Simone

This is a sensitive and intriguing portrait of a character that is well known to the Montréal underground scene. Every evening, Eugène Fortin becomes Madame Simone, to the delight of club-goers around town. Her flamboyant costumes, a pastiche of many styles, give her the look of a clown from the end of the last century. One day, Madame Simone hears a voice urging her to go to the Wigstock festival in New York : a gathering dear to both drag queens and wig fans.
