Every 13-year-old girl dreams of that nice, but hard-to-get, boy. And Joppe is no different, consulting her friend on how to ask Brian out. But just how should she tell him that she was born a boy? This film won the Jury Award for Best Documentary Short at the Los Angeles Film Festival, the audience award for Best Short Film at TranScreen Filmfestival Amsterdam, the Panasonic award for Best Short Documentary at World Wide Short Filmfestival Toronto, Canada and the Teresa Pellati Award for Best Acting Performance for Joppe at the OZU Film Festival in Italy (although she\'s a non-actress being herself in this film) .
