Marilyn and El Che In the Mirror of Love and Death: Waiting for Kennedy

Marilyn and El Che in the Mirror of Love and Death reflects the fate - real or imaginary - of a star adrift.. Marilyn Monroe, in love with President John Kennedy, dreams of tracking Che Guevara in his Amazonian hideaway and taking him to meet with the President. By this act, she hopes to help her lover to make up for the disaster of the Bay of Pigs, ensure his re-election, get him to divorce his wife Jackie and marry her, thus making her the First Lady.
This results in an encounter with El Che and interventions of her former husbands Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio, as well as her last shrink, Ralph Greenson.
True to form, the farce ends up in a total flop, and Marilyn finds herself alone again and finally carried away by her old demons.
It's the portrait of a woman in love, torn between two men, caught in the net of their preoccupations in a time of political turmoil.
