While the spectrum of genders seems limited, culturally, to the masculine and feminine, the fact that one can have both male and female genitalia can create a great deal of anxiety. While 1.7 percent of human births are intersexed, parents are often conflicted about which gender to assign their child. In her first feature film, director Lucia Puenzo examines these situations with grace, humanity, and candor. 2007, Argentina/Spain/France, 35mm, in Spanish with English subtitles, 91 minutes.
