I'm Monika
Monika’s turmoil due to the death of her lover, forces her to assess whether she can continue living. She stumbles upon solace in the form of the most unlikely person; Cora. Her new found friend comes into Monika’s life just as she feels she is sitting on the earth beneath rock bottom. Not enjoying work, sex, or her memories, she feels trapped by her own feelings, and the pressure from everyone in her life to feel better. Cora, through the art of ‘actually listening’ as well as her coarse and direct nature helps Monika find the will within herself to keep breathing. To keep moving. To keep living. Regardless of how hard it may be.
Through offbeat imagination, and sometimes inappropriate humour, this tale is both uplifting and cutting, showing the ups and downs of the grief process and how it can make your outlook on life change to a way it never was before.
