In a conservative Italian American neighborhood, Bruno Battaglia lives with his mother, Angela, and attends an American Roman Catholic school. Angela is overweight and dresses in flamboyant outfits she designs and makes herself. Bruno's estranged father, Dino, a police officer, left the family long ago. While advancing through the school's spelling bee, Bruno decides to start wearing dresses as a source of empowerment and to express himself. He identifies with angels, and when told he cannot wear a dress to the championship in Vatican City, he points out that the Pope wears a dress.
