| Overview: | For just about everyone, 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 Alvaro (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.
Poignant and powerful, "XXY" has won major awards around the globe for both its jaw-dropping performances and audaciously daring portrait of identity and choice. "XXY" is a modern classic in queer and world cinema.
