A tall girl with a tall story, 31-year-old Jabe Babe measures six-foot-two inches (188cm), works as a dominatrix and has a life threatening genetic condition called Marfan Syndrome. This hybrid documentary which merges fiction and non-fiction forms, inhabits the heightened 'technicolor' world of the tall woman, the outsider, to provoke questions about society's desire for sexual, visual and genetic conformity.
