Playing on the classic backstage drama, this short musical featuring Jef Barbara’s I Know I’m Late embeds the story of its own making into a fantasy performance in the dressing room of a Montreal cabaret. A chorus of backup dancers distracts the star of the show as he explains his tardiness through song. The film culminates in a dance routine reminiscent of ’90s MTV music videos and offers an appreciative reflection of idiosyncratic individuality, community and inclusion.
