SHORT FILM

Lola Barth is transgender. She has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Johnathan for about five years. They live together, and about a year ago, they started the process to adopt a child. To become a mother is Lola’s biggest dream.
Johnathan is unsure about being a father, but he proceeds in order to make Lola happy. When there is a real possibility to take a child into foster care – a child who has been refused by many different families – Johnathan needs to make a decision.
Will Lola be able to accomplish her dream? And if so, will she achieve it with or without Johnathan?

FEATURE FILM

Francesca is currently developing Lola into a full-length feature film alongside Norwegian producer Oda Krude from Kruela Film. The feature film will be set in a suburb of Oslo and will delve into the challenges and prejudices that confront a transgender person who wishes to adopt, as well as other themes such as what it feels like to be someone who does not want to have children.
