Synopsis
Summer hits and 10 year old Laure (Zoe Heran) relocates with her family to a new ‘hood, where her foppish haircut and tomboy ways have her immediately mistaken for a boy. New kid on the block “Mikael” is born, and lo and behold the leader of the local gang, Lisa, is smitten. Tomboy is a subtle, insightful portrait of relationships between siblings, parents, peers and paramount for Laure, between the heart and the self. Topped off by excellent performances from Heran and a hilarious little sister act courtesy of Malonn Lévana, gender questioning is handled with both sensitivity and humour. Tomboy collected the prestigious TEDDY Jury Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
