A Boy or a Girl. Intersex People in Russia
Producer
The word "intersex" refers to people who are born with sexual characteristics that differ from the typical structure of the male or female body. Intersex variation may be noticeable at birth, or it may not become apparent until adolescence or even later. There are about 40 different intersex variations. About 120 million carriers of intersex variations now live in the world. How do intersex people live in Russia?
Blue Seagull
Director of Photography
At five in the morning, Katya was woken up by a phone call: "Come. There was a fire. Nadia and Denis died." So casually, suddenly, terribly, irrevocably, her habitual life was crossed out, burned. Katya's husband Denis, a bright scientist, urbanist, together with his 11-year-old daughter Nadia were at the dacha in Beloretsk, Denis's birthplace. At his mom's. It seemed so quiet, beautiful... the happiest and safest place in the world. Pogrebizhskaya's film is based on the home "chronicle of a happy family", on the monologues of Katya, who would not have survived without her inner guardian - the "blue seagull".
