Kinky Boots is a 2005 British-American comedy-drama film written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth, and directed by Julian Jarrold. Based on a true story, the movie tells of a struggling British shoe factory's young, strait-laced owner, Charlie, who forms an unlikely partnership with Lola, a drag queen, to save the business. Charlie develops a plan to produce custom footwear for drag queens, rather than the men's dress shoes that his firm is known for, and in the process, he and Lola discover that they are not so different after all.
Synopsis
A cold young child on a pier puts on thick high heeled red shoes with bows when it seems the coast is clear and starts dancing. An older man chides him when seen through a window. Simultaneously, a young boy more interested in football is being explained the value of shoes and the family livelihood as shoemakers.Actors
