She takes it upon herself to dress and act like the monster until one day her father brings it home with him, shattering her interpretation of what the monster was inside her head. The film explores Isabella's imagination and her family's struggle to put food on the table.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
