Tank Fairy

‘Song wa si de’ is what the local sellers of gas tanks in Taiwan are called. But there is no one quite like this one magic gas fairy. This extravagant Tank Fairy inspires timid Jojo (10) to be the most glamourous version of himself.Jojo also wants to shine and vogue in the most stunning drag outfits. The tank fairy helps Jojo, with a lot of self-confidence and glitter, transform into his authentic self. In spite of the objections of Jojo’s mother and peers, who don’t understand and exclude him.

In this modern, positive drag fairy tale, a shy but headstrong boy is encouraged to come out of his shell, with a little help from a fierce ‘drag mother’ who distrusts all rigid conventions. In scenes almost without dialogue – but with lots of slapstick, personality, a swinging soundtrack and vogue dancing – the young hero is able to make almost everyone enthusiastic about his passion for drag. Even his hesitant mother can’t resist an over-the-top manicure.
