Lingua Franca
\nby Isabel Sandoval
\nwith Isabel Sandoval, Eamon Farren, Lynn Cohen, Lev Gorn
\n(Usa, Philippines, 90′, 2019)<\/p>\n

In this beguiling drama, an undocumented Filipina immigrant paranoid about deportation works as a caregiver to a Russian-Jewish grandmother in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. When the American man she’s secretly paying for a green card marriage backs out, she becomes involved with a slaughterhouse worker who is unaware that she’s transgender. When Alex’s machismo is threatened upon discovering her transgender status, he finds himself weaponizing her immigration anxieties to emotionally brutalize Olivia.<\/p>\n
