The film captures Leigh Bowery's first performance at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery in London. It features a wall with a large two-way mirror, allowing Bowery to see only his reflection while the audience observes from the other side. The performance runs for two hours each day over five days, accompanied by sounds from the outside and various scents filling the room.

Bowery presents a different look each day, crafted by designer Mr Pearl, using outfits that reflect his distinctive style. The film documents this innovative blend of fashion and performance art, as Bowery engages with both the audience and his own artistic identity. The collaboration with gallerist Lorcan O’Neill, artist Cerith Wyn Evans, and DJ Malcolm Duffy adds depth to the production, making it a significant piece in the realm of documentary and performance art.
