Saint Monica

Saint Monica is a poignant story about a young Catholic Portuguese girl, Monica, who lives in Toronto with her struggling single mother, Icelia, and her angry, unemployed uncle, Albert. Monica’s most fervent wish is to be an angel in her church’s annual summer procession. When she learns she is to be replaced in the parade, Monica steals a pair of “angel wings,” only to lose them on a streetcar. In her attempts to recover them from Mary, a troubled homeless woman who believes she is communicating with God, Monica learns something about being a real angel.
