Tomboy + Introduction

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.

TOMBOY is screening in partnership with Film East, a Norwich-based film programming group.

The film was selected from their PROUD film collection, which features 18 diverse and unique films that explore the vast spectrum of sexualities and identities on screen.

The PROUD collection is part of Film East's upcoming film criticism anthology, Queer Projections, which will be published on 2 June 2023.
