Set in the final week before high school graduation, Alex and Ethan scheme their way into the girls’ locker room by pretending to be trans women. While Alex chases after his crush with crude bravado, Ethan finds herself feeling unexpectedly at home in her new identity. What begins as a joke soon becomes life-altering, forcing both friends to confront truths they never anticipated.

McCarthy crafts a coming-of-age comedy that is as outrageous as it is moving, blending slapstick hijinks with moments of tenderness and revelation. By centering trans, nonbinary, and queer voices both in front of and behind the camera, She’s The He transforms familiar teen-movie clichés into a resonant story of acceptance, identity, and friendship. The result is a film that’s as funny as it is necessary—proving that the best comedies are the ones with something real at their core.

With humor, heart, and a sharp edge, the film dives into self-discovery, friendship, and the messy joy of growing up.
