CGiii Comment

A couple of quibbles...that deafening sound at the beginning and an 18 year old - surely - gets to wear what they want!

It's a well-made film, just a few too many edits..but, it is becoming a cliché, akin to 'coming out' at a family Christmas dinner...trans 'coming out' always seems to happen on their birthday...at their party!


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

It’s César’s birthday. Should he honour his parents’ strict traditions, or embrace his real identity?
