a celebration of creativity, difference, football and fashion

Boy in the dress, The (2014) - directed by: Matt Lipsey; country: United Kingdom
Dennis feels different - he’s an ordinary boy who lives in an ordinary house in an ordinary street, he plays football with his mates and lives with his dad and brother, but he is frustrated by the boring grey world he inhabits - life has never really been the same since his mum left. However, transformation can happen in the most unexpected places. In Raj’s newsagent a fashion magazine seems to be calling Dennis - can it be that Kate Moss is really telling him that it’s okay for boys to like Vogue? Aided by Lisa, the coolest girl in the school, Dennis creates a whole new persona and puts it to the ultimate test - but can a boy wear a dress, and what will the headmaster, his dad and his friends on the football team think if they find out? ...
