Ludovic (Georges du Fresne) is a young boy who
wants to be a girl. He likes to play with
dolls, wear dresses, wear make-up and generally behave
like a girl. He can't wait to grow up to be a woman. He even talks
of marrying his best friend at school and cannot understand why
anyone is surprised.
His family are not at all comfortable with their
would-be little girl and are obliged to face with their discomfort
as well as the predictable lack of understanding from the new
neighbours. Ludovic is sent to see
a psychiatrist in the hopes of fixing whatever is wrong with him,
but without success.
Very Funny, touching
comentary on social attitudes and childish innocence. The parents
are particularly well portrayed by Michèle Laroque and
Jean-Philippe Écoffey - swinging between their own desire
for Ludo to behave like a normal boy, and their loyalty to him
in the face of bigotry and prejudice from friends, neighbours
and even Ludo's school.
