Childhood stories of the artist as a young lesbian and intimate tales of the lesbian as a young artist underscore the filmmaker's life of performances. The artist's life is marked by bold actions, including robbing a bank in Morocco and tap dancing on Hollywood Boulevard. The film draws from general culture studies for critique and provides an ironic edge to the "voices of authority". Using archival footage, the film challenges a younger generation to visualize a world before they existed. The stories tug at your heart, the theory teases your intellect, and the fragile line between truth and fiction provoke you in this dense and hypnotic montage.
