Tomboy Page #2

Synopsis: A family moves into a new neighborhood, and a 10-year-old named Laure deliberately presents as a boy named Mikhael to the neighborhood children. It is heavily implied that Mikhael is a closeted transgender boy. This film follows his experiences with his newfound friends, his potential love interest, Lisa, his younger sister and his parents. It focuses in on the significance of gender identity in social interaction from an early age, the difficulties of being transgender and young, and how Mikhael navigates these in the background of childhood play and love.

Right, it's your go now, ask!

Are you in love with Lisa

right here?

"Lisa right here."

Wait! I wanna know the answer.

I know what you're going to say.

Yes.

A little kiss.

Are we playing or what?

Truth or dare?

Truth.

Have you ever...

eaten your snot?

No!

- Not even when you were little?

- No!

- You're lying!

- OK, when I was little I did.

Have you ever tasted your pee?

- You pig!

- Go on, admit it.

You pig!

At least tell me what it tastes like...

It's salty.

How many girls have you kissed?

I've stopped counting.

Your turn now. Truth or dare?

Dare!

You have to swap chewing gums

with Mickel.

Chew, chew...

Go on, chew it!

Chew, chew...

OK, that's enough!

Leave it!

Hey, I'm here!

You're not playing?

No, I like to watch.

Me too.

Anyway, I don't have a choice. They don't

want me to play. They say I'm useless.

What's up?

Nothing...

You're not like the others.

Here, see...

Over here!

Can I play?

If you like...

- But you play on our side, OK?

- All right.

Here, take it.

What a shame...

Well played.

Well played!

Nice game, Mickel!

Mickel!

- How's it going?

- All right.

Thirsty?

Thanks.

You're good.

Thanks.

Go on, stop him!

Mickel, score!

Goal!

Well done, Mickel!

Those who wanna

take a pee, over here!

Mickel!

Mickel! Where are you?

He's over here.

He peed his pants!

Hey, guys!

Hey!

You OK?

You're back early, huh?

Let's see... Watch out...

From the Giles the Farmer family,

I want the son.

Pick a card.

From the Dough the Baker family,

Id like to have...

the daughter.

Are you cheating or what?

What? You want to try?

I'm not allowed to...

One sip won't do any harm.

Cant wait to see you play poker!

So, from the...

Flower the Gardener family,

I'd like the grandfather.

Pick a card.

Damn, what a pick!

Family set!

Oh, sucking your thumb?

What's going on?

Nothing.

You tired?

Come here.

I know it's hard moving

from house to house, hmm?

But this time we'll stay - a long time.

You'll see. It'll be nice.

Know what? I also used to suck my thumb

when I was little.

You'll see, when you grow up

and you try it again...

It's really weird.

It's no good anymore.

Hold on tight, little monkey.

Stop moving.

I'll do your eyes brown.

And then I'm gonna draw

some freckles on you...

on your forehead...

and on your nose,

and some on your chin.

Hey, I havent finished yet.

Lisa...

- Lisa...

- Yes.

I'm coming.

Where are you?

I'm down here.

You won't invite me in?

I can't. My mum's sleeping.

- You're sulking?

- No.

Why didnt you show up?

I didnt feel like it.

It's because of

what happened yesterday...

We can go to my place if you want.

Go on. I dont want to go

Céline Sciamma

Céline Sciamma (born 12 November 1978) is a French screenwriter and film director. Sciamma's work is strikingly minimalist, partly the legacy of her mentor, Xavier Beauvois, who advised her while she was a student at the major French film school, La Fémis. While highly formalist and idiosyncratic (notably in her lack of dialogue and very stylized mise-en-scene), Sciamma's filmmaking, beginning with Water Lilies relates closely to the characteristics of first-time filmmaking in France, notably in its emphasis on coming-of-age films focused on adolescents or pre-adolescents. Sciamma is very interested, moreover, in the fluidity of gender and sexual identity among girls during this formative period. more…
