Hugo boy or girl?

This is a really enjoyable film with a British boy actor Asa Butterfield and a young French actress Cloe Moretz. They sometimes could be sisters since he has such feminine features. She looked like his older sister and was slightly taller that made him seem even more girly.
It took me back to my early youth when I could easily have presented as a girl and when I had my first experiences. A lot of nice memories are locked inside and sadly no mobile phones or digital cameras. Who knows what would have happened if I knew then what I know now.
