The story about a 16 year old girl named Lara who is born inside a boy's body. She dreams of being a ballerina and works hard for her career ambitions while also undergoing the process of gender confirmation surgery. The central performance by Victor Polster is astonishing; it feels really transcendent to the point where Lara is real and this feels like an intimate documentary. Her psychological and physical struggles are heartbreaking and I couldn't wait to see her succeed. It's beautifully filmed which accompanies its soulful understanding of being human fantastically. It's a tough watch in places but it's an incredibly involving experience and a perfect character study
