A young mother, dying of breast cancer, sets out to find her gay son a mentor when her husband refuses to care for him after her imminent death. She stumbles upon a mysterious and magical club, and finds Dove; an enigma, who, through lavish song and dance numbers, invites the Mother to face her trauma, escape her patterns of abuse and wake up from the illusions of life. We discover that her journey; full of Gods, Deities, and extraordinary beings, in which the physical world transcends the metaphysical, has been manifested by her son, who Paints, for his mother, a thrilling and celestial pathway to death.
