Winner of the Best Foreign Language film at the Academy Awards, A Fantastic Woman is a poignant and timely film about a young woman coming to terms with her identity and the way society views her after. After her husband un-expectantly passes away, Marina must come to terms with her husband’s family and their unwillingness to accept her for who she is. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando's family, her sexual identity is a perversion. So Marina struggles for the right to be herself. She battles the very sameforces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now - a complex, strong, forthright and fantastic woman.

“Fantastic is one word for it, another would be outstanding.” ~Detroit News
