As sinister new laws are gleefully announced by the Minister of Belonging demanding increasingly ludicrous proofs of allegiance, Lovely, an enterprising woman, embarks on a journey to save her flamboyant lingerie shop that has been dutifully serving her sleepy village community for years, forging unexpected alliances along the way.
Drawing from the theater of the absurd, Yuki Elias, a prolific theater director and actor, vividly brings to life an outrageous dystopian world that feels eerily too close. Daring and provocative, this delightfully subversive and utterly entertaining film offers glimmers of hope in the resilience of its extraordinary heroine who is a true force to be reckoned with.
