very nice film: "Kinky Boots [2005]" sorta gtm
A little child on the pier is waiting for his father; while waiting the child puts on red dance shoes with bows on them and starts to dance around the pier. The child, revealed to be a boy, is seen by his father and rushes back and changes shoes quickly, hiding them in a bag before his father comes out disapproving. During the same time in a shoe factory another little boy is being taught of their family livelihood as shoemakers and the value of shoes. The boy is uninterested. The film cuts to present day, where Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton), the young boy now adult from the shoe factory, is trying to save the family business. His father has died, leaving the sinking company in his hands. While firing people since the factory is losing funds he fires Lauren (Sarah-Jane Potts) who, before storming out the door, gives him the idea of looking for something to save the factory. Charlie travels to London for ideas, where he sees someone who he thought was a woman getting harassed by drunken hoodlums. While trying to interrupt the harrassment, Charlie is knocked out and wakes up in a back stage dressing room. In that chance encounter he meets sassy drag queen performer Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the alter ego of Simon, the boy seen dancing earlier. Charlie is intrigued by Lola, who points out that shoes are made for women and not for men which is why the heel keeps snapping. Charlie rehires Lauren and they promise to make Lola boots that support a man's weight. While making the boots Charlie sees the possible market of shoes for male transvestites. With the styling eye of Lola, Charlie leads the traditional factory to design and produce shoes for the catwalk in Milan, Italy. However, things go awry as Charlie's girlfriend wants him to sell the company, male employees are unsupportive of the idea, and Charlie is overworking the employees. Still Lola is not afraid to save the day.
