The lush countryside of Argentina sets the tone for this tender tale of the summer when childhood is left behind. As school uniforms are sloughed off in favor of bathing suits, much more is revealed. Argentina , 2009 , 86 min. Screening Monday, June 21, 7:00 PM during the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
A promising lad on a ranch in Argentina begins to experience monthly bleeding and growing boobs. Mom takes him to the nearest physician, who examines, looks strangely at her, hands her a sheaf of typed reports of findings and recommendations to go to Buenos Aires for extensive testing by a specialist.
Mama goes home and the bleeding stops, so she puts the papers in a safe place and forgets it all. Meanwhile the absentee doctor from somewhere else who owns the ranch comes back for the summer with his daughter. The boygirl friendish ranch hand starts bleeding again and confides to the doctor’s daughter, who confides the secret to doctor/owner.
He examines the youngster and discovers he was misdiagnosed at birth as being a boy. That he’s actually a budding female.
Naturally his father, the ranch manager, beats the holy hell out of him as soon as he learns of it because of the deception.
And so on.
An amusing and unusual movie.
