My Name is Baghdad

In a working-class neighbourhood in São Paulo, Brazil, genderdefying teenager Baghdad trots around with skateboard in hand, socializing both with the boys at the local skate park and a fun-loving family of tough, emancipated women. Baghdad is finding out who they are and who is worth their time. When a group of girl skateboarders show up, Baghdad wonders if perhaps these new friends hold the secret to another way of living. This charming coming-of-age drama was the winner of the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the Generation 14+ program at the Berlin Film Festival.
