Gasoline queen

At the annual small town folk festival, two former best friends meet again after a long radio silence. Anna’s career as a racer has taken off in the meantime and Milena is in the middle of her quarterlife crisis. Between Gasoline Queen choices and BFF memories, they try to revive their relationship and face their life choices.
A queer musical about friendship, Y2K nostalgia, the absurdity of heteronormative traditions and everyday competitive culture.
