It’s summer, and 10-year-old Laure is the new kid in town. A natural tomboy, she decides to introduce herself to the neighborhood crew as Michael. What starts as a daring whim turns into a season of discovery. As Michael, Laure catches the attention of Lisa, and a summer romance begins to bloom. But Laure is playing a high-stakes game, leaning into her new life and hoping the inevitable return to school won’t shatter the world she’s built.

🏳️‍🌈Queer French Film Series-Program Note🏳️‍🌈

The history of French queer cinema is rich and diverse. During June 2026 in Paris—Pride Month—Lost in Frenchlation presents a series of films dedicated to French queer culture and lives. The series showcases a range of films from leading queer French-speaking filmmakers. Time-honored filmmakers such as Céline Sciamma, Christophe Honoré, Alain Guiraudie, Robin Campbillo, and Xavier Dolan are included in the program along with a new generation of French queer filmmakers such as Anna Cazenave Cambet and Hafsia Herzi. Through dramas and comedies, their films explore lesbian relationships, trans lives, “coming-out,” AIDS, and the pleasures of being queer.

*The Queer French Film Series is funded, in part, by the City University of New York’s Research Foundation.
