Q-Space Festival Tallinn (30.11.2023 - 3.12.2023)
"Seahorse" screening is on 01.12 at 19:15. There will be a discussion about the acceptance of trans people in families
Freddy is 30 and yearns to start a family but for him this ordinary desire comes with unique challenges. He is a gay transgender man.
Deciding to carry his own baby took years of soul searching, but nothing could prepare him for the reality of pregnancy, as both a physical experience and one that challenges society's fundamental understanding of gender, parenthood and family. He quickly realises that what to him feels pragmatic, to others feels deeply confusing and confronting.
Against a backdrop of increasing hostility towards trans people the world over, Freddy is forced to confront his own naivety, mine unknown depths of courage and lean on every friend and family member who will stand by him.
Made with unprecedented access and collaboration over three years, the film follows Freddy from preparing to conceive right through to birth. Jeanie Finlay created an intimate, audacious and lyrical story for the cinema about conception, pregnancy, birth and what makes us who we are.
