Ma Vie En Rose

Ma Vie En Rose is a beautiful movie about a little boy (Ludovic) who wants to be a little girl.

Beginning of the movie they had just moved in to a new neighborhood and his father is introducing his family. When his dad stats asking, “Where’s Ludovic?” he walks out all dressed up in makeup and a dress. His father, looking for words says, “This is my son Ludovic, the Joker”

The conflict starts when he thinks he is in “love” with his father’s boss’s son, and is caught by his father’s boss’s wife wearing their dead daughter’s clothes. Then after much arguing, and the father's anger, Ludovic is forced into therapy.

During a school production of Snow White, Ludovic locks the girl to play Snow White in the bathroom, and takes her place so he can get a kiss from the boss’s son. The boss’s son does not go through with it, and the family is shunned out of the theatre.

Then the boy loses the support of his mother and father, both becoming much angered at him and he leaves to live with his grandmother. While he is gone his father loses his job (for obvious reasons), and they are forced to move. The son decides to go with them rather then staying with the grandmother.

Ludovic goes to a girl’s birthday party at the new house and she forces him to switch from his pirate costume into her dress. Then his mother sees him and chases after him yelling. She loses him, and in some kind of hallucination (there were also many other cool dream sequences I forgot to mention thus far) she decides to climb up a sign for his favorite TV show/doll and has a beautiful hallucination where he is running off with the doll. She falls off the sign, and in the end accepts her son, though he seems, to me at least, to be growing out of it.
