Amazing Grace
Denver, verano de 1987. Cuatro confundidos adolescentes no saben que sus vidas están a punto de cambiar para siempre en el curso de una sola noche. Cleo es la más inquieta; no sabe qué hacer con su vida y sueña con escapar a París. Dean, que trabaja en la tienda de discos local, está perdidamente enamorado de ella, pero claro, no sabe cómo decírselo. Un día, su banda favorita, los icónicos The Smiths, se separan. Para lidiar con la tragedia que supone, Cleo decide salir a buscar la fiesta de la década y Dean, que se toma las cosas demasiado en serio, ha tenido la brillante idea de armarse con una pistola, ir a la emisora de radio de Denver y obligar al DJ a pinchar únicamente música de The Smiths. Durante toda la noche. Estos cuatro amigos se van a embarcar en un viaje de autodescubrimiento del que no habrá vuelta atrás.

A documentary exploring the multiple facets of sexuality, the film took over five years of preparation and two years' filming. From the United States to Japan, via Brazil, Raphaël Sibilla delves into the world of the staging and fulfilment of fantasies, from the most straightforward – swinging soirées and SM bars – to the most extreme, fetishism and scarification. Although the notion of sexual pleasure is always present, the filmmaker gradually enlarges upon his subject and moves away from the simple, raw representation of sexual practices. He raises more general issues, without ever being judgemental, about his interviewees’ relationship to their bodies, seeking to understand the secret motivations and aspirations of men and women who are sometimes ready to go as far as mutilation to experience more intense pleasure.
The icons from the "Harlem Drag Balls" are influencing the biggest stars in pop culture for decades and they are telling their untold stories of their time. The creative lifestyle, fierceness and fabulousness, is the ultimate challenge in fashion, on the runway and dance floor for recognition and fame. Wolfgang Busch is capturing the creative way society's disenfranchised express themselves through movement and creativity.
