They have lots of friends, tons of money and host pool parties complete with appropriately flamboyand friends. Phil and Eric are anxiously waiting to adopt a baby. In the interim their friend Gloria, a resourceful child services case worker, talks them into taking in two juvenile delinquent brothers who turn out to be foul mouthed, liquor cabinet raiding terrors! Originally she assures them all that “it’s just for one night.” As one night stretches into many, the “father-son” conflicts escalate. Things become even more complicated when the alchoholic, prostitute, junkie mama arrives on the scene to retrieve her babies—until she sees the mansion and the open bar! What results is a lively and touching comedy that explores what we think love looks like and the unlikely places we find family! | ||

| SYNOPSIS: |
With a fistful of fetish in every frame, Girl King is a sexy, swashbuckling, gender-bending adventure on the high seas. When a naïve baby Butch is taken prisoner by the pirate Captain Candy, a hunt begins to find the Queen’s stolen “treasure.” In a world where “men were men, and girls were girls,” the loss of the Queen’s treasure has turned things upside down. Now, tops are bottomed, pirate captains are seduced by tranny sailors and cross-dressing femmes pack a wallop. With the help of the mysterious Easy, can Butch and Captain Candy find the Queen’s lost treasure and restore the line between butch and femme, or will the treasure, and the “natural” order, be lost forever? Decidedly tongue-in-cheek, this clever tale uses a stylish pastiche of ‘pirated’ images and themes to lead us into the uncharted oceans of dyke desire and queer identity. |
