A film journey through a universe of female masculinity. A legendary Drag King Night
in New York is the point of departure for an odyssey to transgendered worlds, where
women become men — some for a night, others for their whole lives.
What motivates them? What changes take place? What do they dream of? The drag kings
of New York meet in clubs and change lustfully into their male alter egos, parodying
them and exploring male eroticism and power strategies. In London we see women experiment
with hormones to become new men and 'cyborgs'. Masculinity and transformation as performance,
subversion or existential necessity.
