I grew up in a country where gender and identity are often defined in simple, unquestioned terms. My own experience never fully fit these binaries. Growing up genderqueer meant constantly negotiating with silence—some feelings could not be spoken, and some questions had no language. Much of my life became an act of translation between what I felt and what the world was prepared to recognize.

Aman grew out of that silence. The film follows a trans man who discovers he is pregnant, forcing him to reconsider masculinity, fatherhood, and his relationship with his own body. By placing a trans man at the centre of an experience so deeply associated with womanhood, the film asks how fixed our ideas of gender really are.

Ultimately, Aman is a film about becoming. It is my attempt to expand the language of gender and make space for bodies and identities that resist simple definitions. I dedicate this film to everyone living beyond the boxes.
