CGiii Comment
Wait 27 rather dreary minutes and then, prepare yourself, to be blown away...
Rural Latin America - where definitive gender identity is crucial...
Any confusion is hidden under the carpet...the cruelty that results from this backwardness is heartbreaking...the complexities are far-reaching.
Solomonoff has, indeed, made a fine film (with the help of some impressive producers)...the ending will not please most - if any at all...
Perhaps the subject proved too complex to be resolved...whatever, it truly is heartbreaking...and, beautiful.

The(ir) Blurb...
Young Jorgelina feels estranged from her boy-crazy older sister, who has entered adolescence and doesn't want to hang around with little kids anymore. Finding refuge in their Boyita camper-van, Jorgelina travels with her father to the countryside, where her lifelong playmate Mario is undergoing some unexpected changes of his own.
