Director Sebastien Lifshitz has created an elegant, limpid, very intimate portrait of 8-year-old Sasha Kovac — who has known, without a doubt, that she was a little girl from the age of two, despite being born in a little boy’s body — and Karine, her heroic, extraordinarily supportive mother, as they struggle to find acceptance and bring understanding to their often-resistant provincial community. A moving, up-close-and-personal look at the emotional and bureaucratic struggles faced by transsexuals and the unconditional love, courage and solidarity of one remarkable family in their ongoing battle to provide Sasha with a somewhat normal childhood.
