A highly relevant film in today's world, Jules Rosskam gives the floor to 19 transgender men who have all given birth to a child. How do they live the reality of being a man who has given birth ? How do they see themselves when faced by categories like « mother/father » ? Did their transition affect their relationship with their family and children ? Does parenthood depend on being a woman or a man ? These questions reveal definitions and representations that often continue to be unshakable though they are collapsing ! Just like gender norms ! A passionate, feel-good film. And one that has to be a thorn in the side of « La Manif pour tous » and other leading lights of gender theory !
