Dir: Lucia Puenzo
With: Ines Efron, Ricardo Darin, Valeria Bertuccelli


This Argentinian drama, a prizewinner at Cannes, tackles a difficult subject with astonishing ease and grace. Ines Efron is Alex, a hermaphrodite. Her parents have taken her as far away from society as they can manage, but tough choices are now closing in on the trio as Alex hits puberty. Director Lucia Puenzo, a novelist by trade, handles her first feature in a sober, thoughtful, but never dull fashion, remembering always that this is a story of a family first and a physical condition second.
