My Life in Pink
“Sometimes you just have to be yourself.”
Ludovic is waiting for a miracle. With six-year-old certainty, she believes she was meant to be a little girl -- and that the mistake will soon be corrected. But where she expects the miraculous, Ludo finds only rejection, isolation, and guilt -- as the intense reactions of family, friends, and neighbors strip away every innocent lace and bauble.

Transgender Ludovic (Ludo) tries to live as a girl and the story of her journey to acceptance involves her innocent fantasies and dreams as well as the hard reality of school, friends and her family’s parallel journey to understanding. As family and neighbours face conflicts both within themselves and each other, decisions and opinions lead to situations which, although traumatic, ultimately lead to an understanding of Ludo by her family and for Ludo, that she is not alone. The subject is treated sensitively and a playful innocence gives the film a positive, affirming tone to what could have been a bleak storyline.
