Film Synopsis
Just because you are born female does not mean you are bound to end up with
a female identity. And just because you are born male does not mean
you are bound to end up with a male identity. Gender is a complicated
issue and there are many factors that will determine the kind of person you
will become in adulthood. Lynn, Rocco, Kaleb and Miguel come from four
different cities - Paris, San Francisco, Barcelona and New York - but they
one thing in common. They were born women but feel they are men.
It is not an idea that society is comfortable with and it has taken these
four many years to become confident over their gender identity. Their
experiences show that being a man or a woman is not simply a question of
which set of physical attributes you are born with. It is a much more
fluid and complicated matter and shows what a complex and subtle thing identity
really is, and how many factors go in to determining who we are. The
experiences of Lynn, Rocco, Kaleb and Miguel are far from unique...
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
