The film tells the story of Sasha, from 7 years, I always knew it was a girl, although he was born a boy.
How society fails to treat you like other children your age – in your daily life at school, in dance classes or at birthday parties – your family supports you and fights a constant battle to make your difference understood and accepted.
It is increasingly discussed: gender dysphoria, defined as “discomfort or suffering caused by a discrepancy between a person’s gender identity and their assigned sex at birth”, which is just what the character Sasha a little girl from 7 years, live in your life, a boy is born but his wish is to be a girl. Having to deal with teachers, high school friends and conflicts over their identity, always supported by the affection of parents and siblings.
Gender dysphoria is a controversial issue and should be debated by psychologists and parents, generates many doubts, lack of family support, and it can happen to a child around 2 years old, at this age, she is already aware that there are feminine and masculine and some of them realize that their behavior does not match what the body indicates.
