Laerte-se is a 2017 Brazilian documentary film directed by Lygia Barbosa and Eliane Brum about the Brazilian cartoonist Laerte Coutinho, who at the age of 58 came out as a crossdresser and later as a transgender woman.[1][2]
Laerte-se examines gender identity and what it means to be masculine/feminine, while also exploring the issues Learte is facing by introducing herself as a woman and her talents as an artist.[3]
