Lingua Franca, directed, written and starring a trans woman, is a powerful independent drama that made history when it was selected for the Venice Film Festival in 2019. The film follows Olivia (Isabel Sandoval), an undocumented Filipino transwoman working and living in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn as a caregiver to Olga (Lynn Cohen), an elderly Russian woman. Olivia’s life gets more complicated when she meets Olga’s grandson, Alex. With the fear of deportation looming, Olivia must navigate her new relationship and find a way to stay in the country.
