This was a good one. A 15 year old hermaphrodite is at the center of this story. He/she is at the age when a choice must be made so he/she can be surgically altered to fit one of the prevailing norms. Not a problem you encounter every day.
His relations with parents, friends, people who try to help and people in the community all come into play here. The script is intelligent and the acting is first rate, most notably the girl who plays the lead. Her dealings with her father develop depth and meaning before our eyes.
This film isn't for everyone, but for those willing to endure some psychic pain, it's an enormously satisfying experience.
