Swan Song

1h 44m • Comedy, Drama, LGBT+ • 2021
NZIFF2021

Legendary actor Udo Kier stars as retired hairdresser Pat Pitsenbarger, who escapes the confines of his small-town Sandusky, Ohio nursing home after learning of his former client’s dying wish for him to style her final hairdo. Pat embarks on an odyssey to confront the ghosts of his past - and collect the beauty supplies necessary for the job. Swan Song is a comical and bittersweet journey about rediscovering one’s sparkle, and looking gorgeous while doing so.

“The disconnect between the realities of different generations of gay men is one of Swan Song’s most unexpectedly joyful through lines.” ~Mark Hanson, Slant Magazine
