Synopsis
A portrait of 52-year-old Jon Cory, a charismatic New York City body-art performer whose raw and provocative acts challenge society's views on gender. A carpenter by day, Jon lives out of his small workshop where he also stores his costumes and prepares for his performances. Jon's artistic dedication to challenging current gender norms is illustrated by the laborious process of transformation he undergoes for one 2-1/2 minute show. However, when Jon decides to get breast implants, he struggles with his identity and his place in society.
