Description

Jorgelina, caught between childhood and adolescence, longs to be like her older sister, who is entering womanhood and wants little to do with her. To escape the family fireworks, Jorgelina and her father take their camper-van La Boyita to spend the summer break swimming and riding horses at his ranch on the sun-drenched Pampas. Jorgelina soon bonds with Mario, a quiet young ranch worker, until she begins to notice that Mario isn’t like other boys. This powerful coming-of-age film delicately balances the beauty and curiosity of youth with the challenges of being intersex.
