The movie

Queer Cinema: Kinky Boots
A drag queen comes to the rescue of a man who, after inheriting his father's shoe factory, needs to diversify his product if he wants to keep the business afloat.
Description
In the film we follow Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton), who takes over the family business, a shoe factory in Northampton, after the death of his father. He is not interested in shoes, and the factory is in such dire financial straits that he has to lay off 15 workers. But a fortuitous encounter with a drag queen (Chiwetel Ejiofor) inspires Charlie to save the factory from closure by producing erotic footwear, much to the workers' chagrin.
