La Cage Aux Folles (Klec bláznů)
A cult comedy with elements of a drag show as a celebration of freedom and self-expression, in which love wins in the end one way or another. Whatever form it takes.
La Cage Aux Folles is the name of a night club where all those who celebrate the inner goddess in the male body gather. The director of the cabaret and the choreographer in one person is Georges, and the main star of the program is his life partner Albin, who performs under the stage name Zaza. The pair of men have been living together for twenty years and are a respected couple in free-spirited society. They never had to hide their identity. At least until Georges's son announced his engagement. Adolescent Laurent is about to marry the daughter of a member of parliament who has built his career on preaching order, morality and protecting the traditional family. And the future father-in-law insists he wants to meet his future son-in-law's family…
Can the couple hide their identity for the sake of their beloved son to meet the social attitudes of a populist politician? The iconic French comedy explores the limits of unconditional love, exposes the hypocrisy of a society that persistently rejects everything it does not have personal experience with, but above all, it is a stage celebration of those who do not let themselves be bound by social conventions and dare to be themselves.
