The filmmaker sets out to make a movie about Catalina de Erauso, a nun-turned conquistador from the 16th century who wrote a memoir called Lieutenant Nun. She quickly becomes side-tracked, however, by a relationship she develops with a 10-year old through the process of casting, and the film turns in on itself. Multiple strategies and media are employed to challenge the binary notions of documentary and fiction. View more details
