A Fantastic Woman
A moving, energetic, and hopeful film about a transgender woman trying to come to terms with the death of her partner, while his family refuses to acknowledge their relationship. Winner of the 2018 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
Marina, a transgender woman, and her boyfriend Orlando—who is twenty years her senior—are in love, happy, and building a future together. But when Orlando suddenly passes away, the life Marina knew is over.
She is not given time to grieve. Both the doctors and Orlando’s family are suspicious of Marina’s exact role in his death. As an investigation gets underway, the family—who never accepted the relationship—completely shuts her out. She is not welcome at the funeral and evicted from the apartment. But Marina refuses to be sidelined so easily, and fights for the right to be herself.
