Age rating (15)

Marina and Orlando are in love and planning for the future. Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer, Orlando is 20 years older than her, and owns a printing company.
After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening, Orlando falls seriously ill, Marina rushes him to the emergency room, sadly he passes away shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family, her sexual identity is an aberration, a perversion. She is treated with suspicion, and neither the doctors or Orlando’s family trust her.

Instead of being able to mourn her lover, suddenly Marina has to battle the forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting, just to become the woman she is.

Set in contemporary Santiago, Chile, and released in 2017, A Fantastic Woman won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the film also picked up a number of International awards, most notably the Silver Bear for best screenplay at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.
