A Deal with the Universe

If ever there was an eloquent story to open closed minds that think we can be compartmentalised, this may be it. Director Jason Barker transitioned to being a man over many years, but paused mid-transition to become pregnant and have a baby. With the unwavering support of his astonishing partner, Tracey, Jason undertakes a process of parenthood that redefines the conventional roles that have been ascribed – though at the end of the day, it’s still just two people having a child together. Funny, moving, touching and tender, ‘this film is groundbreaking in terms of its intimate insights into gender identity and new parenthood’ – British Council Film.

Followed by a Q&A with director Jason Barker.
