Upon the loss of his mother, an Egyptian teenager leaves his home of Cairo to live with his father in Toronto. Parachuted into the underground queer nightlife in Toronto, he confronts his mother's death, much to his father's disapproval, by taking up the ways of drag and becoming Queen Tut.

"Queen Tut is a beautiful piece of queer cinema...a well-timed breath of fresh air."

Queen Tut stars Alexandra Billings, a seasoned Broadway performer who was most recently seen as Madame Morrible in "Wicked," and also served as an executive producer on the film. She plays Malibu, a transgender woman who owns and operates an LGBT bar in Toronto's gay village. Billings is herself a trans woman.
