Two youngsters struggle in their own ways with the onset of adulthood in this drama from Argentine filmmaker Julia Solomonoff. Young Jorgelina (Guadalupe Alonso) has spent most of her summers traveling with her family, but she's become disenchanted with her big sister Luciana (Maria Clara Merendino), who is blossoming into a woman. Openly disgusted with the changes in her sister's attitude and appearance, Jorgelina doesn't want to spend another holiday with her, and she's instead sent to a cattle ranch, where she becomes fascinated with a young boy named Mario (Nicolas Treise). Mario works with the cattle hands, but he's a quiet youngster who keeps to himself and initially resists Jorgelina's offers of friendship. In time, the two get to know one another, and Mario shares a secret with her -- he's been raised as a boy, but he appears to have the sex organs of both a male and a female, and he's not sure what he is and what he should do about it. El Ultimo Verano De La Boyita (aka The Last Summer Of La Boyita) was an official selection at the 2010 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
