The birth of their first child presents a young couple with a moral turning point. When it turns out their baby is intersex, they each follow different paths, driven by the same question: what is best for their child?
One parent clings to medical certainty and advocates for early surgery, while the other listens to the voices of intersex people and chooses to wait and respect their bodies. As the distance between them grows, so does the weight of their choice.

A fun and educational look at how nature is... natural?

About the documentary:
In this hilarious, heartening and educational romp, narrator and co-producer Elliot Page takes us through the animal kingdom. We get to meet brave scientists fighting censorship, as they reveal the truth about nature.
However loud the propagandists may declare that homosexuality and gender diversity are ‘unnatural’, this documentary shows that they never really took a closer look at nature.
Using interviews, animations, and (of course!) a healthy dose of animal footage, this amazing documentary thoroughly takes apart the heteronormative and binary view of nature and shows its true diversity.
This screening is sponsored by: Dierenbescherming
