Directed by German filmmaker Monika Treut, this unique documentary profiles the wildly eccentric, shape-shifting life story of Eva Norvind. Born to a Russian prince and a Finnish sculptor in Norway, Norvind lived an unpredictable life across continents. The film chronicles her evolution from a Paris showgirl to becoming a notorious 1960s B-movie star and sex icon dubbed "Mexico's Marilyn Monroe." After surviving scandals and working as a photojournalist, she relocated to New York City in the 1980s, reinventing herself as a highly successful, business-savvy celebrity dominatrix known as Mistress Ava Taurel.
