XXY
Many things can be going on with adolescents, but Alex is at an unusual junction. She has to choose whether to be a girl or a boy. Her parents resisted the doctors’ pressure and did not allow them to operate on their child to impose one sex or the other. Alex’s mother would like to have a daughter in future, but her father realizes how much Alex has changed through adolescence. But the hardest decision devolves on Alex who is forced to think about herself under pressure from parents and the village that reveals her “perverse“ secrets. Grand Prix de la Seaming de la Critique in Cannes.
