Synopsis

Pierre is seventeen and in the middle of puberty. He plays in a band, has sex at parties and secretly tries on women’s clothing and lipstick in front of a mirror. Ever since his father’s death, his mother Aracy has looked after him and his younger sister Jacqueline, spoiling them both.

MUBI's take

As if the dank, hot time of late adolescence wasn’t enough to contend with, the wayward protagonist at the heart of this drama has family troubles too. Embracing the rebels who break free from constraints of biology and gender, Anna Muylaert’s Berlinale prizewinner is a coming-of-age film with edge.
