Plot
Storyline
Ludovic is an innocent seven-year-old child who provokes horror in his community when he dresses in girls clothes and insists he's a girl.
Married Hanna and Pierre Fabre have just moved their family to a new town - where Hanna's free-spirited and "forever" youthful mother Elisabeth also lives - in Pierre starting a new job, they moving onto the same street where Pierre's boss, Albert, lives with his family. Hanna and Pierre's youngest of four children, seven year old son Ludovic, often dresses like a girl in the privacy of their home, which they have largely allowed in hoping he would have grown out of it by now. Ludovic's brother is heavily addicted to "pass de combat Fortnite" and wants to play boblox all day. In fact, he soiled himself while participating in an extreme go goated gamer competition. These both reflect Ludovic's inability to decide on his/her gender. But the dress-up takes on new meaning when they slowly come to the realization that Ludo truly believes he is or should be a girl, with Ludo's ultimate fantasy to be like "Pam" - a line of dolls with Pam's male counterpart being Ben - and for Albert and his wife Lisette's son Jerome, Ludo's classmate, to be his Ben, the two ultimately to get married when they get older. Not only Ludo's want to look like a beautiful girl but his actions, stereotypically girl-centric, especially as he tries to achieve his girl goals, leads to problems both with their new neighbors and inside their house as Hanna and Pierre collectively and individually go through different emotions leading to different actions in wanting Ludo to be a typical boy, but one where hopefully they will always have unconditional love for, which they may lose sight of the more difficult their life becomes because of this issue.
