The film therefore goes into the universal desires of affirmation and parenting, and in the difficulties that people face to make their dreams come true. But, as the director tells, «Explore also the intersection between individual aspirations and the socio-political landscape Often rigid and restrictive, illuminating the determination of those who navigate these complex waters to make their dreams come true and affirm their identity ».
Who is the protagonist, Dr. Maurizio Bini
At the Niguarda in Milan Maurizio Bini He is responsible for two operational nuclei: the center for gender dysphoria and the structure structure diagnosis and therapy of sterility and cryopreservation. Thanks to Gen therefore we explore the challenges of a doctor from an Italian public hospital who, with his team, constantly media between his ethics and his clinical judgment, on the one hand, and the increasingly stringent legal restrictions on the other.
We witness his visits: with those who fight to make the desire to have a child and those who take the path to change biological sex. We listen to the frank and empathic dialogues in which you listen to these people and update them on successes and failures of the therapies. The camera leads us to the gallery of faces and expectations, silences and dialogues with great discretion. Bini follows in the hospital and then, occasionally, accompanies him during his walks in the woods.
A small but revolutionary film especially in a period like what we are experiencing, both in Italy and in Europe, in which the rights of minorities and women, rather than establishing themselves, risk shrinking.
