What it’s about. La película explora las 'Houses' del barrio neoyorquino de Harlem de finales de los 80. Una 'House' es una sociedad de gays y drag queens (drag queen en el sentido neoyorquino del término que incluye a las travestis), que tiene forma de banda callejera. Las 'Houses' están formadas por una 'mother' o madre y los y las 'children', hijos e hijas, la función de la madre es la de presidir la sociedad y aconsejar y mirar por sus integrantes. Los 'Balls' son los bailes que organizan las 'Houses' en los 'Ballrooms' (literalmente salones de baile) que se convierten en una especie de club para reunirse y competir entre sí. "Paris is burning" refleja el fenómeno de los 'balls' desde 1987 hasta 1989 cuando ya ha llamado la atención de los medios de comunicación y las industrias culturales perciben beneficios de lo que súbitamente es la nueva moda.
