Out French filmmaker Céline Sciamma scored a hit in 2007 with her drama "Water Lilies" about female teenagers exploring their sexuality. Sciamma explores a different aspect of young female sexuality in her new film, "Tomboy," a character study of a ten-year-old girl who spends a lot of time passing as a boy.

Laure carefully cultivates an androgynous appearance with a butch haircut and by wearing boy's clothes. Laure reinvents herself as Michaël in meeting a neighborhood girl named Lisa (Jeanne Disson), who introduces "him" to the local boys. Lisa is the only girl in the group and she's intrigued by the handsome newcomer. She tells Michaël she likes him because he is "not like the others" and lets him win a game to impress the other boys.
