But as a transgender teen in Brazil today, she faces significant social stigma and bureaucratic barriers. Her steadfast mum will do anything to smooth the path, so together they start over in a new town where nobody knows Valentina is trans. She becomes fast friends with a sweet gay guy and a pregnant computer nerd, but when they find themselves separated at a drunken party Valentina is harassed by someone who threatens to out her. However, with her steely support network and a maturity and resolve far beyond her years, she steamrollers the haters in this timely and transcendent drama. (Zlín Film Festival)

Engels Many films with transgender themes are set in a modern setting, which is why Valentina appealed to me so much, because this wasn't the case with this film. The interesting look into a simple Brazilian village with conservative characters allows you to identify with the main character and support her in every way. A sensitively made drama that is engaging and entertaining, while showing contemporary issues in a sober way and offering an opportunity to reflect on what is wrong and right in today's world.
