For just about everybody, adolescence means having to confront a number of choices and life decisions, but rarely any as monumental as the one facing 15-year-old Alex (Ines Efron) in this moving Argentine film. As Alex, who was born an intersex child, begins to explore her sexuality, her mother invites friends from Buenos Aires to come for a visit at their house on the gorgeous Uruguayan shore, along with their 16-year-old son Álvaro. Alex is immediately attracted to the young man, which adds yet another level of complexity to her personal search for identity and forces both families to face their worst fears. The New York Times: “Delicate, emotionally potent.” Community Partners: Samara Foundation, Outright Vermont, RU12? 86 minutes, in Spanish with subtitles. Film review
