The film tracks the last eighteen months of Consuela's life, from her fabulous cabaret acts, to the creation of a living will, from her appearance as a dominatrix on the Charles Perez show, to the silicone removal operations necessitated by her own weightloss. Consuela, died due to complications related to AIDS in March 1996, during the film's post-production.
