Sinopsis(1)
Alex (Inés Efron) es una adolescente de 13 años que esconde un secreto: es hermafrodita. Poco tiempo después de nacer, Kraken (Ricardo Darín) y Suli (Valeria Bertuccelli), sus padres, decidieron dejar Buenos Aires para instalarse en una cabaña de madera aislada del mundo. Su objetivo siempre fue que Alex creciera sin los prejuicios del entorno, protegida y feliz. Y que al alcanzar la pubertad pudieran decidir juntos qué camino seguir. Ese día llegó. En el comienzo de nuestra historia, los padres de Alex reciben a una pareja de amigos que vienen desde Buenos Aires con su hijo de 16 años, Álvaro (Martín Piroyanski). Las mujeres fueron amigas íntimas en el colegio, pero ya no tienen nada en común. Sus esposos se detestan... (Wanda Visión)

A lot of today's movies look like they were made by creators without any problems about heroes who, just like them, don't have real problems, and so they create pseudo-problems. It's just a distorted representation of boredom and consumer society. A typical example in the genre of a film with sexual themes is Shortbus. A film with a strange name, XXY, proves that a film with a similar theme can be made sensitively and with a sense of aesthetics and final catharsis. It's not about some cheap sensationalism, it's about a highly bitter, painful, and laborious process of dealing with a genetic defect and the resulting uncertain sexual identity. Similarly, the issue of homosexuality and tolerance in the field of sex in the 21st century, where seemingly there are no taboo topics, is also addressed there. Many things are only hinted at in the film, but they also prompt reflection. I liked it, even though it's just a small and unassuming film at first glance. Overall impression: 90%.
