Jules, cross-dressing entertainer, needs cigarettes during the show.
The neighborhood is rough, in the convenience shop thugs wander in.
Insults thrown, Jules replies in kind, and receives a brutal beating.
Much later, he recognizes one of his attackers, and realizes he is a closeted homosexual.
The slow, cold craft of revenge ensues
Deep exploration of fear, rage, identity, inadequacy, even possessive jealousy.
The two performers give their characters a depth that belies their surface simplicity.
Off kilter thriller, not for all tastes, not for phobes.
