SUMMARY
A small child on the pier is waiting for his father; while waiting the child puts on red dance shoes with bows on them and starts to dance around the pier. The child, revealed to be a boy, is seen by his father and rushes back and changes shoes quickly, hiding them in a bag before his father comes out and scolds him. During the same time in a shoe factory, there is a man teaching his son the basic ethics and tradition of his family that he has to follow in future. The boy is uninterested.
The next scene the boy in the shoe factory named Charlie and his father are standing with the workers of the factory discussing about the fact that Charlie is going to manage the whole business of his father from now on and stay in Northampton. Charlie on the other side is least interested to stay in Northampton and moves to London with her girlfriend. While he and his girlfriend are having a look around their new apartment, Charlie gets a call about his father’s demise. He runs back to Northampton for his father’s funeral. The young boy now has to save his family business all alone. He continues to produce shoes. One day he realizes that the factory was in very serious financial trouble. A visit to one of the firm’s largest customers revealed that its traditional market had been taken over by cheaper, lower quality, imported products.
The young owner has to begin immediately laying off long serving members of the workforce. While doing so, he gets a lecture from a young female employee who tells him that, instead of moping around asking “What can I do?” he should get out and find a new niche market. While visiting to the former firm in London, he sees someone who he thought was a woman getting harassed by drunken hoodlums. While trying to interrupt the harassment, Charlie is knocked out and wakes up in a back stage dressing room. In that chance encounter he meets sassy drag queen performer Lola, the alter ego of Simon. Simon is the same boy who was dancing earlier
