touching

A somewhat believable story on the effects of a parent's sex change on the family. Denis Mercier gives the strongest performance of the movie. He's listed in the IMDB as an actor but is very believable as a transsexual.

Overall a high quality production sensitively done. As the movie didn't have much of a plot, that leads to an anticlimactic ending. What there is of a plot is somewhat overly melodramatic. Still, it's one of the few but growing number of movies with positive portrayals of transgendered people and issues.
