Ten-year-old Laure isn't like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure and her family move to a new neighbourhood, local girl Lisa mistakes Laure for a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Mickaël, and so begins a summer of long sunny afternoons, playground games and first kisses. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.

A masterpiece in story telling, cinematography, sound, and directing. A heartrending lyric on gender and sexuality.
Singularly deep understanding of both childhood & gender
Very interesting, delightful and easy to watch. A good character study that never forces the hand to make a point
A simple well-made slice of life from a writer/director who'll go onto great things.
This was okay movie but I wouldn't watch this again though
Deeply beautiful. Heartwarming and heartbreaking.
This is a simple but a meaningful and frustrating story.
Almost deceptively simple with how much emotion and reality it packs into an atypical coming of age film.
Saw it few years ago with school. One of the best move I've ever seen. Powerful.
A very compelling and at times heart breaking film about identity
