Shall we go in?

Not today, I'm not ready.

Why not?

You know. I didn't wax my legs

or cleavage enough.

Right.

Next time.

You'd do this again?

Sure, why not?

- Gilles.

- What about Gilles?

I don't know.

None of his business.

He wouldn't get it.

The film's about to start

Not so fast, my heels!

I love that actress!

May I sit here?

Let's move.

Tell me the truth.

You're into men, right?

Not at all.

That man turned you on.

Oh, him!

Not the way you think.

I was happy

he took me for a woman.

And fondled you.

It may seem strange,

but men have never turned me on.

Whereas women always have.

Maybe that's why

I want to look like one.

Ever try with a man?

No, never.

I sometimes masturbated

with the boys at catechism.

Nothing more.

Like to try as Virginia?

Never occurred to me.

It's my first time out as a woman.

Men are noticing me.

Who knows? I might try it.

A girl only lives once.

It's so new for me.

Thanks to you.

I feel reborn.

Maybe you shouldn't hold my hand.

That man's staring.

Don't worry.

Women often hold hands.

Certain women.

What a wonderful day.

I think you were right.

What?

This isn't just for Lucie.

What?

My lipstick.

Hang on.

There.

So Gilles won't suspect anything.

I have to take this.

David?

No, Virginia.

Can we do lunch?

Fm a mess. {need to see you.

Not until 1:
30.

Near your office?

Across the street.

Thanks. See you then.

Coming as a man, right?

No, I said H was Virginia.

- Sorry, I can't.

- Why?

Right near work?

I can't take the risk.

What risk? It went fine last time.

Meet me at 1:
45

at the tearoom in the mall.

There you are.

Sorry I'm late, it's busy at work.

Sunglasses?

You said to be discreet.

It's ok here.

I'll grab a sandwich.

Want something?

I'm not hungry.

Are you sure?

One of those sandwiches, please.

I love your skirt It suits you.

Thanks.

Forget to shave?

- Does it show?

- A little.

Shoot!

Being a woman is hard work.

What pills do you take?

Nothing.

Anti-depressants.

Our day at the mall was a revelation.

I've never felt so happy.

A happy woman.

I have to try again.

I'm back at work, it's complicated.

Don't leave me on my own.

I need you.

Laura's parents have Lucie

this weekend.

We could go to their country house.

Impossible. What'll I tell Gilles?

The truth.

You ok?

This job is a nightmare.

Gotta finish.

That's my scarf.

I grabbed it, I've got a sore throat.

Looks pretty.

My mom called.

She's not doing well.

What's wrong?

I think she's depressed.

We could go see her this weekend.

Too much pressure.

I have to work.

You go ahead. You don't need me.

Would've been nice to go together.

We'll go when work slows down.
