'Causeway' Explores Toxic Masculinity Through Its Protagonists
The message to take away from 'Causeway' is that toxic masculinity can manifest in anyone, no matter what their gender identity is.
Lina
The film takes us back in time, to a relatively recent yet forgotten period in history, when many women like Lina were forced to fold in the face of unfair and blinkered authorities. The victim of an administrative internment aimed at re-educating her after her so-called "depraved behaviour", Lina finds herself completely abandoned, confused and humiliated. In present day, when she is 60 years old, for the first time in her life, our brave protagonist can finally "spill the beans", thus freeing herself of a burden that has threatened to destroy her all these years.
