A Fantastic Woman

Sebastian Lelio · 2017 CE · Film · Latin American · Contemporary

A Santiago waitress and singer wakes to find her much older partner ill, drives him to hospital and loses him there, and from that moment his family, the police and a doctor treat her as a suspect and a curiosity rather than the person he lived with. She wants only to attend the funeral and to get her dog back. Daniela Vega plays her, and was consulted on the script before she was cast.
