A mix of a fictional Balad tale about Amelia the bold transvestite who opens a cafe and a nonfictionish critique of a New York student William Willy Vega, labeled unteachable, whose film project shifts teachers and administrators. The piece questions schooling, self worth, and the value of progressive teaching methods amid social resistance.
