Elle Fanning Starts Her Transition To Male In First Trailer For 'About Ray'

Elle Fanning pumps some weights in the first trailer for her upcoming film, About Ray.

The flick centers on three generations of a family living under one roof in New York as they must deal with the life-changing transformation by one that ultimately affects them all — Ray is a teenager who has come to the realization that she isn’t meant to be a girl and has decided to transition from female to male.

His single mother, Maggie (Naomi Watts), must track down Ray’s biological father (Tate Donovan) to get his legal consent to allow Ray’s transition.

Dolly (Susan Sarandon), Ray’s lesbian grandmother is having a hard time accepting that she now has a grandson. They must each confront their own identities and learn to embrace change and their strength as a family in order to ultimately find acceptance and understanding.

About Ray opens on September 18th.

Elle is also pictured below running a few errands in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (August 6).
