Smart young Ludovic is the delight of his upwardly-mobile middle-class parents--until he becomes convinced he's a girl trapped in a boy's body, that is. His outward expressions of identity, which include wearing dresses and starring in a classroom performance of "Snow White," put a strain on the family unit but seem absolutely natural to him.
