The 2011 Cambridge Film Festival is now over, come back soon for details of next year's festival

Michaël (Zoe Héran) enjoys playing football with the boys, swimming and sharing quiet conversations with his girlfriend Lisa. He is so popular with the locals one would hardly believe he has only just arrived in suburban Paris. But Michaël isn't an ordinary boy ? in fact he isn't a boy at all, but a product of 10-year-old Laure's androgyny, and it's got everyone fooled. In this vivid chronicle of ambiguous emotions, French director Céline Sciamma (WATER LILIES) ponders on the issue of sexual identity at an early age. Treating the subject with grace and intelligence, TOMBOY attempts to protest the proverbial childhood innocence above all.
