Based on a novel by popular French mystery writer Brigitte Aubert, this unusual thriller is more notable for its striking transgendered heroine and the demimonde she inhabits than the clunky plot.

Born the biological son of an admired Belgian doctor (Marcel Dossogne) who's now being investigated as a suspected pedophile, the estranged, transgendered Bo is being pressured by Det. Huysmans (Richard Bohringer) to confront her father before a judge...
