Tomboy
OutWest is a new screening strand as part of a bold collaboration between The Chiswick Cinema and Peccadillo Pictures. Our team have handpicked the best LGBTQ+ cinema for our Chiswick community. Screenings are open to everyone and we’ll include recorded Q&A opportunities with cast and crew where possible.
——————————–
Ten year old Laure isn’t like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new neighbourhood, family life remains much the same. That is, until local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Michael, and so begins a summer of long sunny afternoons, playground games and first kisses. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.
