Story

Introverted princess Saira, daughter of the lesbian queens of the planet Clitopolis, is devastated: her girlfriend, bounty hunter Kiki, has broken up with her! Kiki says Saira is just too boring. But she made her such a beautiful relationship album! However, when Kiki is kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens, the incels of the future, Saira has to leave the safe space of queer space and deliver the ransom within 24 hours: the royal labrys – a golden double axe of incredible lesbian power. The only problem… Saira doesn’t have it!

Hilariously funny, brightly coloured and euphoric, uncompromisingly queer: the first feature film by Australian directing duo Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs is a rousing intergalactic journey of self-discovery with a taste for mayhem and a big heart, somewhere between a wild sci-fi musical comedy and a healing coming-of-age adventure. It won the Teddy Award at the 2025 Berlinale and came second in the Panorama Audience Award. We think it’s great fun.
