The life of gays and transvestites portrayed with empathy in a comedy that has Bent, a factory worker, as its main protagonist. We meet his mother, who makes no bones about having always wished for a daughter rather than a son; his closet days at work; and his let-it-all-hang-out off hours with kindred spirits (and bodies). Rockers turn up to spoil the fun. The comedy has its touches of tragedy.
