A priest walks into a bar... and becomes a drag queen. Sicily said 'we're not surprised.'
The documentary tells the story of how in Licata, a town in Sicily, Augustino changed his life, leaving the seminary and the opportunity to devote his life to the church and reinventing himself as Lorella Sukkiarini, a biting and provocative drag queen.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Licata's deep Catholic roots make Lorella's emergence particularly radical — Sicilian drag culture historically flourished in Palermo and Catania, not conservative southern towns.
De Caro reportedly kept his seminary robes and incorporated them into early performances before this documentary was filmed — the costume in the final scene may be authentic.
