When the truth about her sexual nature is exposed, the 15 year old Alex and her parents are forced to deal with it to make a decision that will change their lives. Puenzo aware of the delicate nature of the topic stays away from any kind of exploitation to give a powerful account of the dilemma of a family dealing with a sex chromosome disorder. Argentinian star Ricardo Darín gives his support with a subtle and nuanced performance as the father of the teenager played convincingly by Inés Efron. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
