Synopsis

Audrey learns how to communicate with her dying mother who is in a hospice. It is Audrey’s last chance to prove to her mother that love supersedes identity issues. This is also her ultimate attempt to tell her mother what she has always been: her daughter.

This was my first project with L’Institut national de l’image et du son(L’INIS). The story of Audrey came to life after a one-day shoot and three days of editing. Given the subject matter, I did extensive research in collaboration with the LGBTQ + community which I sincerely thank. . In addition, it was essential for me that Audrey be played by a trans actor as I believed this would make the film more authentic and show respect to the community. I felt like Audrey’s story was one that needed to be heard.
