Nakon sedamnaestogodišnjeg iskustva seksualnog radnika u New Yorku, neprijavljeni imigrant Iván Monalisa ponovno se ujedinjuje s bivšim sveučilišnim kolegom i proživljava procvat u potrazi za identitom sebe kao trans* izvođačice i spisateljice.
After 17 years working as a sex worker in New York City, undocumented immigrant Iván Monalisa reunites with a former college classmate and re-flourishes in the search for identity as a transgender performer and writer.
