Magma

When Nova (15) brings her little sister to soccer practice, she exchanges a glance with the new coach, which results in a feeling she can’t seem to put a finger on.

A moving and hilariously honest portrait of a transgender son and his mom based on the successful eponymous play. We see a kid who’s becoming more and more clear and a confused mom who can barely keep up with him. Creating space for addressing the wrongs, concerns and clichés, this film provides a loving insight into the reality of a kid in transition. It shows the impact that ‘becoming who you are’ has on a family, but at the same time addresses universal themes like growing up, becoming an adult and the art of raising a kid and letting them go.
