We Have Never Been Modern
The Czech Republic
2024, 1h 57m
Directors: Matěj Chlupáček
Cast: Eliška Křenková, Miloslav König
Together with her husband she came to build a utopian world in the middle of pure nature. Helena, the pregnant wife of the factory manager, is about to give birth and her family is facing a rosy future in a modern city. But all her illusions will soon perish. All it takes is the dead body of a newborn hermaphrodite to be found in the middle of their factory. Helena needs to find out what happened here for the safety of her own child, but she runs into her own prejudices… The story is inspired by the true story of intersex people in the 1930s, shortly before the war destroyed everything.
