Here's the synopsis "For just about everybody, adolescence means having to confront a number of choices and life decisions, but rarely any as monumental as the one facing 15 year-old Alex (Ines Efron,) who was born an intersex child.  As Alex begins to explore her sexuality, her mother invites friends from Buenos Aires to come for a visit at their house on the gorgeous Uruguayan shore, along with their 16-year-old son �lvaro (Martin Piroyanski.) Alex is immediately attracted to the young man, which adds yet another level of complexity to her personal search for identity, and forces both families to face their worst fears.  "

Among the reasons I liked it, without spoiling any surprises... all the actors were excellent, particularly the person playing Alex, she really expressed in between gender beautifully.

It made me cry, so that's plenty of proof that it was a great movie  ;) I wish that I could have grown up expressing my gender freely.
