In the heart of Paris’ gay scene, Jim reigns supreme: the ultimate Gym Queen, influencer, and object of universal thirst. But when a bizarre virus called Heterosis starts turning gay men straight, his reign ends overnight. Unfollowed, abandoned, and stripped of status, Jim is left with just one unlikely ally: Lucien, a devoted scrawny twink with more loyalty than clout. Together, they plunge into the queer chaos of the Marais, chasing a rogue doctor rumoured to have a cure.

Bold and irreverent Jim Queen is a wild ride through identity, image, and the absurd lengths we’ll go to stay seen – and stay queer.

The film premiered in the Midnight Screenings section of the Cannes Film Festival.
