A story about a transgendered person that does not involve campy drag queens or troubled transvestites with bad home lives. Rather, the story of sweet young Ludovic, a mere child who is born knowing that he wants and needs to be a girl. He has it all figured out; God messed up his chromosomes, simple as that, and gave him a girl's mind in a boy's body. And all Ludo wants to do is rectify this "mistake". It's all very honest and natural to him. He is only a small boy and is much more in tune with his needs and desires than his family is. I agree with whomever stated that this film probably could not be made in the U.S., home of Jerry Springer and sensational news stories about transsexuals. It has none of that. It is pure and sweet, and Ludovic is completely wholesome in his feelings about himself. Everyone should see this movie, and see the REAL side of the story for people who are transgendered.
