"台灣的女同志想要認識同路人,想要放鬆自在地喝酒跳舞的選擇有哪些?

20年前甫從舊金山回來台灣的小安只因為這個簡單的念頭開始投入舉辦女女派對,從一開始百餘人到現在近千人,再慢慢擴展事業體到發行Lez’s meeting 雜誌、建立品牌、跨界多元發展,一路上伴隨台灣的平權躍進,女人國派對儼然是台灣甚至亞洲女同志的娛樂文化代名詞。

本片從女人國總監小安的視角出發,呈現女人國20週年在台灣的終極派對籌畫過程,以及深入他內心的情感、啟發和信念,對他而言,每一場派對都是一場夢的實踐,為與會者提供喘息釋放的空間,甚至為他們的人生帶來力量和感動。小安深信,只要越來越多女同志勇於衝撞體制,終將讓世界聽到屬於我們的聲音。"
