A lesbian mother and her young son talk about gender, parties, dressing up and going shopping – about how they live, what they like and what they have in common.
This film started out as a home movie, Jack later put his own words to the images – it is an undirected performance that reflects his own words to the images – it is an undirected performance that reflects his various influences in life. It also reveals his perceptions of the world around him. The film has been shown at various festivals worldwide. It continues to provoke debate. Jack is nearly eleven now and making his own films. He still likes to dress up and is always assumed to be female by people he meets.
