Tomboy
Synopsis
Ten-year-old Laure isn't like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure and her family move to a new neighbourhood, local girl Lisa mistakes Laure for a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Mickaël, and so begins a summer of long sunny afternoons, playground games and first kisses. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.

Tomboy: Journey of Self-Discovery
Céline Sciamma's Tomboy is a film that invites viewers to explore a single topic, yet only you will truly know what that topic is. How is that even possible? One film, with one story and one main character, but each person sees and analyzes it differently.
What makes Tomboy so powerful is its deliberate ambiguity — Sciamma leaves it open to interpretation whether the main character is this, that, or perhaps something entirely different. For me, the way the main character introduces themselves, makes choices, and wants to be seen points to a specific interpretation. But I won't reveal that here.
I highly recommend watching Tomboy as it beautifully portrays a child's journey toward self-discovery, leaving you with much to reflect on.
