La Cage aux Folles II
Directed by Édouard Molinaro
Produced by Da Ma Produzione, Les Productions Artistes Associés
A lighthearted spy-comedy romp that uses mistaken identity and drag performance as vehicles for humor while celebrating the bond between its two male leads.
In a move to make his partner, Renato, jealous, the flamboyant Albin waits in a local cafe - dressed as a woman - hoping to be picked up. But Albin gets more than he bargains for when the fly he catches in his web is actually a spy, who uses him as an unwitting courier of secret microfilm. Now on the run from ruthless agents, Albin and Renato flee to Italy where they attempt to hide out on a farm, with Albin posing as Renato's wife. Can Albin escape the deadly pursuit of these relentless spies or does he have to sustain this charade - as a woman - forever?
