Name: De dag dat ik besloot Nina te zijn
Genre: Short
Released: 2003-06-07
Duration: 15 min
Rating: 7.2

This movie is about an 11-year old Dutch boy named Guido, who has always been feeling like a girl. At school he wears guys' clothes but at home he's allowed to wear girls' stuff. He likes to play with girls and girlish things and he enjoys riding classes... and he decides to be called Nina. Hence the title.

I am quite impressed by this short film, as it seems to be a true story (I'm not sure, I admit). Guido really looks and behaves like a girl, it's so convincing and really seems natural. The film's more like a documentary, as there's a interviewer, which also makes it interesting. Would've been nice if it had been longer, though. 8 points.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.
