Jim Queen

Come for a gleefully filthy romp through Gay Paree as a buff influencer and his twink fight to cure a heinous virus that makes queer people straight!

Jim Parfait is the top gay gymfluencer in Paris. When he’s not posting his daily workouts, he’s flaunting his gigantic rig at parties with his best pal Nina. She’s the first to spot that one of Jim’s 24 magnificent abs has vanished. Quelle horreur! Jim has heterosis: the dreaded virus that’s turning queer Parisians … straight. As Jim’s fickle followers abandon him for his brawny nemesis Pavel, he teams up with Lucien – closeted twink son of France’s villainous conservative health minister – on a hero’s cruise for a cure. In the city’s degenerate demimonde, they’ll encounter bears, techno-blasting leather puppies, Glamydia of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the militant ‘Gaystapo’ threatening Jim with reverse-conversion therapy.

There’s serious commentary on the state of the modern world to be found in Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen’s outrageous Cannes-premiering satire. But be prepared nonetheless for a barrage of the world’s dumbest, lewdest jokes, while the macaron-toned Rick and Morty-esque animation stuffs the frame with as much silliness as the protein that Jim gorges on.
