The XXY title refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes, namely
those of teenager Alex, who was born a hermaphrodite.
Sick of negative reactions to her condition, Alex's parents move from
place to place, finally settling in a remote Uruguayan fishing
village.
Here they're visited by a family friend, her plastic surgeon husband
and their sexually confused son, Alvaro (MartÃn Piroyansky).
