MA VIE
EN ROSE
This award-winning film tells a sweet story of an innocent little
boy, Ludovic who wants to be a girl. Convinced that
he's the product of misplaced chromosomes (he imagines the mix-up in one of
many delightful daydream sequences), he sets about righting the mistake by
wearing dresses and high heels and experimenting with lipstick and makeup. The
otherwise friendly suburban neighborhood becomes horrified by the gender
confusion. Ludo tries hard to be butch, but he can't
deny his nature, especially when he meets a kindred spirit: a little girl who
gladly trades her dress for his pants and shirt. This bittersweet mix of
innocent fantasy and childhood cruelty reminds us that, to a child, anything is
possible.
