Synopsis
A surprise box-office hit in its native France, Celine Sciamma’s
TOMBOY centres on ten year-old Laure (Zoe Heran), who isn’t like
most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses.
When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new
neighbourhood, family life remains much the same. That is, until
local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy.
Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Michael, 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.
