Tornar-se um Homem na Idade Média

Languid film about (and made by) people who live their lives looking at their navels. Technically sterilized, acted by blank faces (with the exception of Nuno Nolasco as Carl) and devoid of vigor, I wondered, as the son of May 1968 that I am, if these four people (Mirene and André, and Vicente and Carl) who want to have a child and resort to unusal or bizarre methods (allowed by modernity and technology, at the cost of depriving a good portion of humanity of medical services), have ever reflected on their surroundings, if they have seen or heard of misery, dispossession, greed, theft, savage capitalism, etcetera, etcetera. Four middle-class Europeans with no other concern than manufacturing synthetic children, are not far from phony dramas with artificial intelligences as protagonists. Of interest, to be informed of what worries some creative minds in Europe, but little else.
