Summary
Chilean-born performer and writer Iván Monalisa fully embraces his/her dual selves: scrappy, masculine Iván as well as diva, transvestite sex-worker Monalisa. A reunion with filmmaker Nicole Costa, Iván's former college classmate, provides the opportunity for a journey through this undocumented transgender immigrant's daily life of sex, drugs, and poetry-as well as a quest for US legalization. Pragmatic and humorous, Iván Monalisa navigates the gritty underbelly of New York City with charisma and charm.
