Based on the book Minchia di Re by Giacomo Pilati, Viola de Mare is a heart-breakingly beautiful film by Italian director Donatella Maiorca. With the emphasis on the heart-breaking.

Until her poor, put-upon mother gets a genius idea; Angela will becomes Angelo. He'll be the son her father wanted and will then be able to marry the woman he loves.

Now, we're not talking transsexual here. We're talking "wear a suit and cut your hair, and sure no one will say a thing". It works too, although in the beginning, Angela finds it hard to be as sure of herself as Angelo needs to be.
