Der Dokumentarfilm erzählt von großer Liebe, herben Enttäuschungen und Selbstzweifeln, aber vor allem von großem Mut. Dem Mut, etwas zu wagen, Neues zu beginnen, zu sich selbst zu stehen - egal in welchem Lebensalter!

- Gardenia - Bevor der letzte Vorhang fällt
Très applaudi en 2010 au Festival d’Avignon, le spectacle "Gardenia", autour de l’identité transsexuelle, a fait le tour du monde. Cet émouvant documentaire revient sur les derniers jours d'une véritable aventure.
Tells the story of great love, bitter disappointments and self-doubts - but most of all of courage. The courage to take risks, try something new and be yourself - no matter what age. The film dives deeply into the exceptional and heart-warming stories of a group of transsexuals and drag queens in their sixties and seventies, who summon up their bravery to take to the stage one last time. For two years they have been touring in five continents, basking in the success of a spectacular show called "Gardenia", directed by Alain Platel and Frank Van Laecke. Now, as the show comes to a close, the glamorous aging performers must leave the limelight and go home to the quiet lives they left behind.
