Binh, a reserved 19-year-old, has to face their questioning about their non-binarity in a family and school environment that does not allow them to express themself. It is Jeanne, a sparkling and tireless 30-year-old trans woman, who opens the doors of her LGBTI+ association and offers Binh a space of talk and support. Binh lets their identity speak as they discover the Parisian’s queer and ballroom scene, where they fall in fascination with Abi, a young 24-year-old trans woman who has made her name in the ballroom scene. Binh, who dreams of performing alongside her one day, sees their tenacity put to the test by Abi. Meanwhile, Tarik, a young trans man with whom Abi has recently started a love relationship, struggles with his collective to create a head procession that would honor people of color in the LGBTI+ community during the Pride March. His project suffers from several refusals and only finds a new lease of life when Tarik meets Jeanne thanks to Binh. With the help of Jeanne's association, they will work together to make their voices heard, while Binh will redouble their efforts to integrate the ballroom scene.
