| Summary: | Growing up queer in a communist state, queens Patricia and Lucretia spent the 70s and 80s undergroud, finding glamour in the squalor, strutting their stuff in parks, seducing Soviet soldiers, preying on drunks, and seeing their friends die of AIDS. To anyone who wasn't there, their shamelessly embellished tales of those years seem scandalous. Now they are about to hit Lovetown -- a Baltic seaside resort populated by a younger generation of emancipated gays -- and they realize that being gay is no longer as interesting as it was under the communists. |
