Based on a true story. As a young boy, Eddie Araujo always felt different somehow. She started putting on her mom's makeup and wearing her mom's clothes, which her mom found odd. By the time she entered her teen years, Eddie could no longer hide the fact that she was a lot different, that she was meant to be female and not male. When she finally accepted it and with her mom's eventual support, Eddie changed her name to Gwen and started to live life as female until a tragic night changed everything.
A rare film, it took me a week to download on torrent. A sensitive subject treated without miserabilism or good lessons teaching. The story was quite bowdlerized and the emphasis was on Araujo's life before the crime rather than the beating to death. A film with some cinematograhic qualities although the ending was quite rapid to my taste. But may be because I was frustrated of how the director chose to not make it all about the crime but about Gwen's life before.
