THE NAME OF THE SON

Synopsis

Lucho knows who he is. It’s the others who seem mixed up, inspecting him closely, addressing him as a girl, and pestering him with questions. The time spent with his dad during a beach holiday draws attention to the process of transition that Lucho is experiencing. Struggling with his own insecurities, Lucho’s father tries hard to keep their close bond intact, while young Lucho attempts to come to terms with the development of a body going through puberty.
