Miss” is a light and entertaining dramedy that explores masculinity and femininity.
As a child, Alex dreamed of one day being elected Miss France. 15 years would pass, and life led Alex to a different reality than that which he imagined for himself as a child. But an unexpected encounter will awaken in him the forgotten dream and he decides to compete for the title. But there’s one problem: Alex is a guy. A very feminine guy who likes to dress, put on make-up and act like a woman, but he still sees himself as a guy. Nevertheless, with the help of his chosen and very colorful family he is going to participate in the competition. 
Miss” may be a completely commercial comedy but it’s message is subversive.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s model and discovery, Alexander Wetter, was nominated for a Cesar Award for his role in this film. Around him you can find favorite actors such as Thibault de Montalembert & Stéfi Celma, both from the successful “Call My Agent!” series on Netflix, and the well-known Isabelle Nanty (“Amélie” and “Tatie Danielle”). Trans legend and singer Amanda Lear also pops up for a moment.
French-Portuguese filmmaker Ruben Alves provides the audience optimistic entertainment with a thought-provoking idea.
