Priscilla Queen of the Desert


Based on the popular 1994 film of the same name, Priscilla Queen of the Desert follows two drag queens and a transsexual who buy a run-down old bus (called Priscilla) and set out on a road trip across the Australian Outback when one of them, Tick, is invited by his ex-wife to perform his drag show at her far-away resort. He convinces his friends Bernadette and Adam to join him, and the 3 lost souls embark on an adventure that tests their resilience and takes you from heartbreak to celebration as they encounter an array of people, some of whom aren’t receptive to their lifestyle, while strengthening their friendship.
