XXY: It's Alex

In the terrific Argentinean drama XXY, 15-year-old Alex (Inés Efron)
"presents" as a girl among neighbors in a Uruguayan fishing village,
but still packs a pistol and a holster. Questions over Alex's true
nature arise when relatives come to visit, including a plastic surgeon
(Germán Palacios) and his awkward son Alvaro (Martín Piroyansky).
Alvaro doesn't know Alex's secret, but he's immediately intrigued by
the rangy, aggressive, androgynously named teen. Their sexual tension
builds to a surprise of Crying Game proportions.

Boy, would I have given to be an XXY. Or an XY. But I feel quite deprived of a Y, here.
