Determined 15-year-old Lara is committed to becoming a professional ballerina. With the support of her father, she throws herself into this quest for the absolute at a new school. Lara's adolescent frustrations and impatience are heightened as she realises her body does not bend so easily to the strict discipline because she was born a boy.
Lara, 15 ans, rêve de devenir danseuse étoile. Avec le soutien de son père, elle se lance à corps perdu dans cette quête d’absolu. Mais ce corps ne se plie pas si facilement à la discipline que lui impose Lara, car celle-ci est née garçon.
Girl laat ons binnenkijken in het leven van de 15-jarige Lara, die het wil maken als ballerina. Samen met haar vader trotseert ze de wereld, maar vooral haar lichaam dat tegenstribbelt, want Lara is geboren als jongen.
