I am Leo
Wide meadows, romping in the woods and building cabins. Leo (12) spends the autumn holidays with big sister Noémie and cousin Emil on Grandma Marlies' farm. However when Leo is surprised by what Grandma Marlies calls big news, Leo faces an identity crisis. "I am Leo" immerses itself into the emotional world of a child who is on the way to discover their gender identity. A film about expectations that overwhelm, about thoughts that restrict and about the courage to find yourself.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tender and nuanced narrative, relying on the natural world as a metaphor for inner growth and the clarity of a child's perspective. It explores the complexity of self-discovery through simple yet profound family dynamics.
What lingers after the credits is a sense of quiet resilience and the profound impact of being truly seen. The story avoids easy answers, offering instead a space for empathy and reflection. — MovieFinder Editorial
