 10-year old Laure is the new kid in town. Preferring to dress in androgynous clothing, Laure introduces themself as Mikael to the local group of kids and soon forms a bond with a neighborhood girl, Lisa. At first, Laure/Mikael’s little sister Jeanne is the only one who knows their secret; but with the new school year fast approaching, the truth will inevitably be revealed. Celine Sciamma’s charming film explores issues of youth and gender identity and the resilience of family and friendship. 

Film will be followed by Q&A session with Catherine E. Clark, Assistant Professor of French Studies at MIT.
