XXY

XXY (2007) is an Argentine drama directed by Lucía Puenzo that you can watch online on iFILM. Inés Efrón plays Alex, a fifteen-year-old intersex teenager whose family has retreated to a remote house on the Uruguayan coast to keep the world at arm's length. For years her parents have tried to shield her from doctors, neighbors and the pressure to make a permanent choice about her body.

That fragile arrangement cracks when a couple from Buenos Aires arrives with their teenage son Álvaro in tow. It is the first time Alex meets someone who does not already know her story. Ricardo Darín plays her father — a man of quiet steadiness who loves his daughter and cannot quite figure out how to protect her from a decision only she can make. The encounter between Alex and Álvaro pulls each of them somewhere unexpected.

Puenzo shot the film with an unhurried precision that lets every silence carry weight. XXY took the Cannes Critics' Week grand prize and went on to become one of the defining Latin American films on bodily identity. Stream XXY (2007) online on iFILM.
