While on their way to the Gay Games in Tokyo, the Glitter Shrimps miss their connection and find themselves stuck in the depths of Russia, in a particularly homophobic region…
After the success of the first part (nearly 600,000 admissions), the band is back for new adventures. Rhythmic and flamboyant, this sequel promises even more adventures and twists. The plot allows you to discover more about each of the characters in this endearing band. Without highlighting, and thanks to a lot of humour, the film is also more committed to its subject.

Officially, he wants to spend one last week with their children before announcing their separation. Unofficially he hopes to win back his wife… But the children, now in their thirties, are less docile than 20 years ago and the hunt for memories on the roads of Greece will quickly tire everyone.
