CGiii Comment

A difficult subject handled with intelligence.

The kids are fantastic...and, it does raise that awkward issue of grandparents being too involved in the raising of their grandchildren.

The(ir) Blurb...

Elsa is a 6-year-old child who, like anyone her age, wants to live happily and free. She knows that she is different from most, but despite her young age she is clear: she knows that she is a girl and that she is the queen of her life. Who could question it? ELSA talks about tolerance, diversity and the possibility of choosing who we want to be.
