* MissingMom: Lara's mother is missing. The film does not explain why.
* SelfHarm: Lara does not eat enough, so that her body weakens. She also compresses her penis with tape, so that she gets an infection. In the end, she tries to cut her penis with scissors.
* {{Transgender}}: Lara is a 15-year-old transgender girl.
* TransRelationshipTroubles: Lara tells her shrink that she cannot have romantic relationships at the moment because her body makes it impossible. She nevertheless seduces her neighbour, but she prevents him from touching her breasts or pubis and she gives him a blowjob.
* TransTribulations: Lara is a transgender girl. She is publicly humiliated at school when a teacher asks if the other girls are upset by the fact that she uses the girls' changing-room. Later, her classmates force her to show her penis. Yet, her most important problem is her gender dysphoria: she is obsessed by the fact that her breasts do no develop and she self-harms because she does not accept her body.
