A young girl, only three or four years old, already knows he is a boy. His mother not only accepts this but embraces it. With her kindness, understanding and guidance, she will ensure her child does not as a teen and adult have to live a secret life. The black and white photography is beautiful. The minimal dialogue gives the words extra meaning. The greatest impression from this movie, reinforced by the many trans documentaries I've seen, is the young lad's utter conviction of his sexual identity so early in life, and the pleasure and self-confidence he takes from knowing who he is. This movie was showcased c. 2022 by The New Yorker in its screening room feature.
