Fifteen-year-old Lara dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. But the frustrations of adolescence intensify as she faces the challenges ballet imposes upon the body of one born male. A profound cinematic portrait of a girl’s complex relationship with her body. Victor Polster’s performance in the lead role is exceptionally subtle and affective.
