8 bis 18

As a preschooler, Philipp instinctively knows that he is a boy even though his body shows female characteristics. He trusts his gut feeling, but can his parents do the same? For 10 years, 8 BIS 18 accompanies the family with Philipp and his brother in this coming-of-age documentary. A story about love and trust.
