GIRL

Fifteen-year-old Lara is determined to become a professional ballerina and tries by any means necessary to overcome different obstacles: the harsh, antagonistic world of classic dance, the insecurity of adolescence, and –most of all– the fact that she was born a boy. Having the unconditional support of her father and defying the derogatory gaze of the crowd, she walks dancing towards the impossible. In this free adaptation of the real story of a transgender who demolished all stereotypes around sex and gender, ballet’s discipline becomes a metaphor for the specific weight of all bodies that matter.
