Boys will be boys and girls will be girls, but one child isnt so sure in this Belgian comedy drama. 7-year-old Ludovic (Georges DuFresne) is happy, healthy, and good-natured, but theres a bit of a problem -- he has decided that hes a girl. While his parents Hanna (Michele Laroque) and Pierre (Jean-Philippe Ecoffey) try to understand, Ludovic stubbornly refuses to listen to reason from his parents, teachers, or schoolmates. His fondness for wearing girls clothes and frequent pronouncements to strangers that hes going to be a woman when he grows up become increasingly worrying, and things come to a head when Ludovic declares that when hes older, he plans to marry Jerome (Julien Riviere), the boy next door. It hardly helps that Pierres boss, Albert (Daniel Hanssens), is also Jeromes father, and that hes notoriously closed-minded about gender issues. Will Pierre keep his job? Will the stress spoil Pierre and Hannas marriage? And will Ludovic find the right shade of lipstick? Ma Vie En Rose was the first feature for director and screenwriter Alain Berliner. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
