Directed by Italy's Andrea Pallaoro, "Monica" tells the story of a woman who returns to her family home after an extended absence to care for her terminally ill mother who had abandoned her as a child.
"It is very rare that you see a script where there is a trans character at the centre, and the movie is told through her lens, it is her world, and that is so rare," Lysette told reporters ahead of the première. Although Lysette's own personal history flags to the audience the character Monica's birth gender, the question is not addressed head on, but is rather hinted at – a transition that has been folded into family history but not necessarily accepted.
