"Drag is pure politics", says one of the artists who star in this documentary about drag art in Argentina, based on the "Miss Lipsync Battle" contest, which takes place at the Peuteo bar in the Palermo neighborhood. The competition is a landmark of the Buenos Aires nightlife since many artists take their first steps there, having the opportunity to share the stage with established figures in front of a fierce audience and a jury of notables. At the same time that the different stages of the contest are recorded, following the emotional pulse of each participant, the film reflects and narrates a brief history of local drag, invoking and summoning figures that built myths in the night.
