Synopsis
Sinopsis
When a land in the middle of nowhere is threatened by a militant and homophobic
poli5cal party, the safety of the country depends on Adam, a hairdresser. Armed
with make-up and extraordinary dance moves, he must defeat the bad guys before
they are able to win an electon. But Adam must first learn Lenggok, a mix of tradi5onal Indonesian and modern dance, and transform into the legendary transgender superheroine Madame X. Blending ac5on-packed superheroes with trashy queer parody and mar5al arts, director Lucky Kuswandi’s debut film offers a riotously entertaining perspec5ve on LGBTQ+ issues in Indonesia. Will high heels turn into loafers? GliNer make-up into dust? Leather trousers into cloth? With so much at stake, only one thing is certain: in order to baNle gender bigotry, Adam must fulfil his des5ny as Madame X.
