Mama tells the story of a self-chosen family from Rotterdam. At the head of the family are mother and drag queen Ma'MaQueen. Together with her three cats, she forms a safe haven for her six drag children.
Not everyone in the household can count on understanding from their biological family and they all struggle with personal problems; Being rejected by their family, having a negative self-image, or not feeling seen. The turbulent search for identity and acceptance within a society that screams that you do not belong is not all sunshine and roses. Drag makes them forget all of this
and, for a brief moment, the shortcomings in their daily lives vanish into thin air.
The sometimes harsh reality and fantasy overlap on a daily basis, but under the wings of Mama, they feel safe and seen. In each other, they find support, security, and a home in which fantasy becomes reality. Above all else, they want to celebrate each other.
