If you want to be happy, figure it out. The curious film “Heels” (“Heels”) is the first full-length film by actor and director Ricky Reidling (who had only experience in serial work before that). In 2005, he launched Boystown (2005-2013), a series about the lives of seven friends who live in a gay neighborhood in Los Angeles. Something between Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City. And the themes touched upon in the series - unconventional love, travesty, coming out - are fully reflected in the film "Heels".
When Kevin (Ricky Reidling) loses his third job in six months, his girlfriend Teresa (Julia Ann Neill) gives him one week to find a new job, or he will have to find a new girlfriend and a new place to live. During the celebration of the engagement of their friends in the cabaret "Heels", Kevin learns about the travesty contest and a solid monetary reward for winning. Out of desperation, he goes backstage and convinces the travesti diva Celeste-Jason (Albertossi Espenosa) to prepare him for this contest.
The authors of the film very accurately noted that only by understanding himself, the hero of the film can truly become happy.
Ricky Reidling, Albertossi Espenosa, Roxy Wood, J. Hunter Eckerman perfectly performed their roles in this film “migrated” to him from the series “Boystown”.
Yes, the film is an absolute fairy tale, it rarely happens in life. But the fairy tale, which we so sometimes lack, because our world, long teetering on a thin edge, will either perish from mistrust and malice, or will be saved by faith in beauty and love, as shown in this romantic comedy.
