"We´re going to exaggerate shamelessly." This sentence is spoken over black film by Lucy McEvil, transvestite, singer and passionate resident of Vienna, at the beginning of Wolfgang Muhr´s short portrait. Hyperbole is a wholly suitable leitmotif for a film in which an artist is shown portraying characters of the opposite sex, as the representation´s exaggeration, ironic refraction and displacement is what differentiates the act of dressing in drag from mere imitation of a certain sex.
Directed by Wolfgang Muhr
