Mona is a background heroine, condemned by her own kindness and worry for others to live in the shadows of those she loves. Neither her family nor her partner, all of them too self-centred, ever make a single effort to admit and to understand that she is indispensable to them. Will Mona’s patience reach its limits? Becoming Mona won the Best Director award at the Dutch Golden Calves awards and the Best Co-Production Ensor award at the Flemish ceremony. The film will be released in Belgium on 17 November by September Film.
