AFI Latin American Film Festival 2009

Hard up for money and pressured by her ambitious husband, Arturo (Alberto Alifa), Magaly (Elaiza Gil) enters a TV contest for Marilyn Monroe look-alikes with hopes of winning the $25,000 prize. There she meets the competition, including Norma (Johanna Morales), whose skill at impersonating Marilyn is matched only by her will to win at all costs. Looking for guidance, Arturo and Magaly recruit Hector (Miguel Ferrari), a drag queen who believes he’s the dead actress’s reincarnation. Faced with stiff competition, Magaly suffers an identity crisis not unlike the real Marilyn’s. Venezuela’s Official 2008 Oscar Selection for Best Foreign Language Film.
