Scenes from a Domestication - Camila Sosa Villada

Wildly successful and famously spiky, the actress is adored by her fans and loved by her lawyer husband, although they share an intense and complicated relationship. But as a trans woman she is traumatised by her painful childhood and she longs for a love that feels real, for someone to care for and a family she can feel at home in. She and her husband adopt a little boy and her desire to protect him is powerful and healing. But he is HIV positive, and when they return to the setting of her childhood and the family she grew up with, she is confronted with the brutal force of the prejudice she has tried so hard to escape from.

Vivid, raw and passionate, crackling with caustic humour, Scenes from a Domestication explores sex, class and the corrupting nature of wealth and privilege, the longing for home and family - and the unquenchable desire for love.
