![]() ![]() *SPOILERS AHEAD* And the beautiful, truly beautiful ending! in the past a character like this one was always killed at the end: It drowned, it fell in an abyss. Not here! This is a very humane movie, very tender in it's treatment of a very delicate problem (Could it be because the director is a woman?). ![]() I remember only one scene with an albino hermaphrodite in a frontal nude scene in a Fellini movie -"Satyricon"- But there, it was used only as shock value. What could they do about the problem? Where could they go to talk about it without raising eyebrows? - the world can be terribly cruel with anyone "different". His/hers parents lived 15 years (the child's present age as shown in the movie) of sheer torment. Not only his/her struggle, but both his/hers parents. I never saw a movie treating this issue before -not at all in a Hollywood product!!- and never so seriously and delicately. To me the idea of showing the inner struggle of an hermaphrodite with such a profound respect was a First. I Just saw this new movie from the Argentinian cinema and found it deeply moving.
