Finding Sasha (Chair Tendre)

Origin and Year: France, 2022 Director: Yaël Langmann & Jérémy Mainguy
Runnning time: 2 x 30 min

Sasha is a new high school student looking for friends and safety in her new home. Until a few weeks ago, however, she was a boy. For her, the perception of her own identity is particularly urgently complicated by her own body. When she discovers that she was born intersex, she adds to her worries about her first relationships and her physical appearance the annoyance of what her parents have kept from her since birth. How to find herself? Before Sasha has surgery, secrets will be part of her life. This French series charms with its unforced realistic atmosphere and the way it brings us closer to experiencing ambiguous gender identity at a young age.
