Description

Every 13-year-old girl dreams of that nice, but hard-to-get, boy. And Joppe is no different, conferring with her friend on how to ask Brian out. But just how should she tell him that she was born a boy?

In Susan Koenen’s documentary film, Joppe talks about her daily life. She describes her situation at school, the reactions of fellow pupils, and speaks openly about her feelings and her plans for the future.
