This is a very good examination of a teenager struggling with gender confusion. As with all good films, it is not just about that. It is also about how the family and others deal with that and other conflicts, the immediate confrontation arising when company arrives. The father's ultimate facing up to his child's struggles and what needs to be done is also handled very well. An excellent film in any language.
Well, it tells me I need to write more, and I'm not one to deny myself of that when possible. Let me add that the whole scene when the dad goes to visit someone else who dealt with the same issue was handled very well, including the opening distrust when the stranger comes by.
