What maketh thee a man?

Look, this narrative has to change...trans-men seem to be trundling down road towards toxic masculinity. 

Hair, beer, cigarettes, tattoos, aggression [and, half-moon scars] do not make a man. Some men actually love being gentle men!

A very naïve film...unfortunately, just one of the too [too] many.

Dig deep...find the soul!

The(ir) Blurb...

It's late summer on the Brittany coast. Oscar invites his group of friends to spend a week's holiday at his grandparents' house. He hasn't been back to where he grew up since he came out as a trans boy. On the beach, the gang meet Malo, a handsome local boy who is also trans.
