Introduction by Sofia Paiva de Araujo, Graduate Teaching Assistant, Languages and Culture Studies, UNC Charlotte. Discussion will follow screening.
Tall, dark, androgynously handsome, Pierre wears eyeliner and a black lace g-string, while having sex with both boys and girls. The confusion only goes deeper when the teenager’s single, working-class mom is arrested for having stolen him (and his “sister”) at birth. Thanks to the wonders of DNA, he’s returned to his biological parents: bourgeois, straight-laced and thrilled to have him back…at least until he joins them at a bowling alley in a zebra-print mini dress.
