Trade Queen
FICTION | 6’ | Super35
Day by day, Mr. Jonas and Mr. Schmidt make their way from door to door across the country, selling pots.
After work, both go their own way: Mr. Jonas spends his evenings in solitude, contemplating in his cheap hotel room, before going to a bar to drink a few glasses of Whiskey. Mr. Schmidt whereas, transforms himself into a glamorous Drag Queen and dives into the night-life.
On one of those evenings, set at a shabby bar on the outskirts of a town, Mr. Schmidt fully dressed up, clashes with the locals who aren’t able to to cope with his extroverted lifestyle as well as with Mr. Jonas who just wanted to spend some time alone. Now it’s up to Mr. Jonas to decide whether he’ll risk his own neck for his unwanted colleague, or do nothing while Mr. Schmidt gets humiliated.
