00:00Hello, my name is Gianluca Mattarese. I'm the director of the film Gen, the film will

00:19premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2025 in the world competition. There's a place

00:25here in Milan, a unique place, where men and women dream of having a child, and also men

00:31and women dream of aligning their assigned gender with their gender identity. It happens

00:38here in a hospital in Milan, where two services are combined in one only service, specialized

00:46into gender transition assistance and infertility treatment assistance. And these services are

00:52provided by the National Public Health System, completely free of charge. Every day, the head

00:59of the department, Maurizio Bini, a highly erudite, slightly histrionic and sometimes politically

01:06incorrect doctor, tries to navigate between the contradictions of what bodies desire and taboos

01:13forbid. His struggle, however, goes beyond his patients. It is also about keeping a public

01:19service alive in a system increasingly dominated by market forces and political restrictions.

01:26And this struggle is unfolding at the pivotal moment, the final chapter of his career. Together

01:33with co-author Donatella Della Ratta, we had the privilege to witness this world at close. Our film

01:40is set precisely in that space, in the delicate, often tense interactions between doctor and

01:46patient. It's a space between the legal and administrative apparatus of the public health

01:52system and the immense diversity of human experiences, vulnerabilities and desires. This is

01:59not a film about politics and medicine. This is a film about how intimacy becomes political. Thank

02:06you for giving us the opportunity to share this film. I hope you will find what we have found

02:12in the hospital, a reflection of resilience,

02:16empathy, humanity and the courage to fight for your dreams. Enjoy the film.
