A Happy Man

Trailer.

Available Summary:

"Marvin is a trans man living in Sweden, in a long-term marriage with his partner Ivan and their two children. His unexpected separation from his homeland for several months, as well as the slowing down of the entire process of physical and legal sex change during the covid-19 pandemic, intensifies the coexistence between partners and offspring, relationships with relatives and closest co-workers. The period of muted timelessness offers the film's protagonists a space to provide mutual support, acceptance of Marvin's gender identity, and a redefinition of roles within the family. Writing LGBTQ+ novels in which Marvin has created a male alter ego has played an essential role in his discovery and experience of his trans authenticity." -Czech Film Center.

Note from Jack:

This documentary is completely unrelated to Un Homme Heureux (2023), a fictional film also released as A Happy Man, which also focusses on an FTM transition. They were released in the same year and titled the same thing, apparently by coincidence.
