Vicki Sugars
Betty and Stan¡¯s marriage is at a dead end. They eat together and sleep in the same bed, but dead air separates them like a wall. One day, an unexpected breakthrough results when Betty discovers she has moustache and Stan is absorbed by embroidery. Subverting gender roles by depicting a ¡®woman¡¯s moustache¡¯ and a ¡®man¡¯s embroidery¡¯, director Vicki Sugars reveals in hilarious ways how fragile the compulsory binary structures of gender and sexuality really are.
