When Parisian gay gym-queen-supreme Jim contracts a virus that will turn him and others straight, his only hope for a cure is a shy fanboy twink. A hilariously camp, animated, musical romp direct from Cannes.

Jim Parfait, with his sculpted 24-pack abs and legion of gym junkie followers, is the hottest influencer and king (or queen) of the Paris gay scene. But when Jim contracts Heterosis, the symptoms are quick to set in – he starts losing his abs, develops an attraction to the opposite sex, and has a sudden desire to settle in the suburbs. As Jim’s queer status and identity vanishes, the community turn their backs on him. But his salvation can be found through Lucien, a closeted, soft-spoken twink (and Jim’s number one fan), who is committed to saving him from his fate by finding the mysterious Chloroqueer remedy. Bombastic and irreverent, Jim Queen is a riotous satire and instant cult classic.

It’s an animated charmer that blends raunch and warmth into a memorable gem.
