Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 rejection, 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.

Ma Vie En Rose is a charming tale of a young boy who becomes convinced that one of his X chromosomes was lost when God was making him and instead bounced into the trash. Seemingly unable to do any right, his, or her, family come to cope with the ' embarrassment' of their seemingly inevitably transexual son. Like Hedwig and the Angry Inch meets Amelie.
