Miss Temperance

A year after the drug and booze-fuelled night that served as a catalyst to start their sobriety journey–a seasoned drag artist prepares for their return to the spotlight. As the evening unfolds, Jackson confronts a whirlwind of emotions—nervousness, excitement, and the lingering shadows of their past. With the encouragement and wisdom of their drag mentor, they’re able to face their fears and perform–finding the creative liberation of their sober identity in the process. The film explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of reinvention while paying homage to the unique spirit of Glasgow's queer scene.
