Based on a true-ish story. After her life falls apart in the wake of surgery, soft-spoken actress Laura Franco finds her voice again when she meets a terrifying, yet weirdly charming, monster living in the closet of her childhood home.

An irresistible genre mix of romantic-comedy and horror with a musical panache, this wickedly smart ode to healing, self-fulfillment and the catharsis of feminine rage marks the ferocious debut feature of director Caroline Lindy, screening at Tyneside following its official selection at Sundance Film Festival.
