Summary :
Deseos / رﺭغﻍبﺏاﺍتﺕ exposes the ways in which medicine, law and religion shaped discourses of the gendered body through the narration of two stories: Martina’s, who lived in Colombia in the 19th century and was prosecuted for being a hermaphrodite, and Nour’s, who lived in Beirut during the Ottoman Empire and was forced to marry to her female lover’s brother. Part documentary and part fiction, the film presents a correspondence between two women who faced the consequences of defying gender and sexual norms.
