Trailer


Appelez-moi Skylar relate l’émouvante et captivante histoire d’une adolescente réfléchie de 14 ans qui pose un regard perspicace sur l’avenir et sur la femme qu’elle aspire à devenir. Accompagnée dans son cheminement personnel par une famille et une communauté qui lui témoignent un amour inconditionnel, Skylar affiche une rafraîchissante honnêteté et une grande dignité face à la réalité complexe d’une jeune fille transgenre au seuil de la puberté.
