A rookie drag queen, reeling from a break-up, escapes to the country where he finds his grandmother in steep decline, yet desperate to avoid a nursing home. Part of the Pride Month Film Series.
In her last major film performance, Cloris Leachman stars in "Jump, Darling" as the cantankerous grandmother to Russell, a down-on-his-luck drag queen who’s reeling from a bad break-up and escapes to live in the countryside. Wounded and hurting, he slowly returns to life by injecting new energy into the sleepy local gay bar – all while his rapidly declining grandmother desperately fights to steer clear of a retirement home. At once humorous and heartbreaking, the film is an ode to new beginnings and the soulful journey toward healing.
