While having an interesting plot this simply did not feel involving.

Mãe Só Há Uma estreava há 5 anos no Brasil. Gosto da pegada de um usar um dualismo familiar para explorar a bifurcação no modo de vida do protagonista, é bem engenhoso como o roteiro mostra que a trama da mudança de família é mais metafórica das questões de gênero apresentadas, como se a família pudesse ser a mesma, mas ele não. Bem sagaz. DVDRip no MakingOff.

Lively coming-of-age (or coming-to-terms) drama in which a brother and sister are separated to be reunited with their biological families - who are not too accepting of the boy's gender liberation. The story moves fairly fast, not going into too much depth of characters and relationships as it tries to find a balance between its transgender theme and the morality of adoption and exploring whether nature or nurture defines family. Fine performances, nicely shot, not that much depth or length.
