Girl
15-year-old Lara wants to become a ballerina, and trains hard with her fellow students. At the same time, she is undergoing hormone treatment, which will lead to a gender-confirming operation. The story, which is based on a true story, depicts a beautiful father/daughter relationship. In Girl, the surroundings are mostly supportive, but Lara still faces many challenges in an inner struggle to become who she wants to be.
