“Journey to the lighthouse / La traversée du phare” 1999, Thierry Redler Cordouan (2) / France, 1611

10-year-old Eric doesn’t expect anything good from his next school: the orphan has been hanging around in foster families for several years, changing them one after another, not getting along with his new parents, not having time to make friends and find true comrades. He is accustomed to the alienation of his peers and the indifference of adults. At his new school, he met an outcast just like him. Jan also has neither a father nor a mother, who cannot be replaced by the aunt who takes care of the boy, who is lost in the means to return him to a normal life, because Jan is not a boy, but a girl, Marie, obsessed with the thought of fulfilling the wish of her father, who wanted a boy to be born instead of a girl, deciding to live and behave like a boy.
