Ludovic is waiting for a miracle. With six-year-old certainty, he believes
he was meant to be a little girl -- and that the mistake will soon be
corrected. But where he expects the miraculous, Ludo finds only rejectin,
isolation and guilt-- as the intense reactions of family, friends and neighbors
strip away every innocent lace and bauble. As suburban prejudices close around
them, family loves and loyalties are tested in the ever-escalating dramatic
turns of Alain Berliner’s critically acclaimed first feature. Winner of the
Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and a favorite at festivals around
the world, this unique film experience delivers magic of the rarest sort
through a story of difference, rejection, and childlike faith in miracles.
Sony Pictures Classics. 89 minutes. French with English subtitles.
