Trailer

Why watch this film?

A provocative short film that, through a very classical cinematography, addresses a speculative science fiction narrative, in which a heterosexual couple struggles with infertility, and a homosexual couple undergoes an experimental treatment that would allow them to conceive a biological child. Of breathtaking beauty,Becoming Male in the Middle Ages is a brief but profound meditation on family, gender, reproduction, and identity, whose boundaries are increasingly blurred.
