A Good Man

There is only one thing missing in Benjamin and Aude’s loving relationship – the child Aude longs for but cannot have. Benjamin decides to fulfil the dream of having a family instead of Aude. His motherhood becomes not only a test of the relationship, but also a thorn in the side of the family and neighbours who are used to having everything pigeonholed, just like the flowerbeds outside the windows of their houses. The intimate drama works precisely with the sensitive theme of trans* parenthood, embodied also by the outstanding performances of Noémie Merlant and singer and actress Soko. (Febiofest)
