About
Monica is an intimate portrait of a woman who returns home after a long absence to confront the wounds of her past. Reconnecting with her mother and the rest of her family for the first time since leaving as a teenager, Monica embarks on a path of healing and acceptance.
The film delves into Monica’s internal world and state of mind, her pain and fears, her needs and desires, to explore the universal themes of abandonment and forgiveness.
US-based Italian director Andrea Pallaoro follows up his highly acclaimed and award-winning Charlotte Rampling collaboration Hannah with this poignant, moving and life-enhancing story of a trans woman reconnecting with her family after a long estrangement.
Intimate, contemplative and extraordinarily beautiful, the film has elements to appeal to both arthouse and mainstream audiences.
