Océan (2019)

"Ocean" - a name chosen by a comedian, who, in May 2018, steps into the public spotlight in a way like never before. This documentary series is an intimate chronicle of a year in his life, from the momentous intake of his first testosterone in January 2018 to the cathartic approval of his change of civil status a year later. With a minimalist camera setup, Ocean brings us into his world, sharing personal conversations with his mother, cherished moments with close friends and lovers, and his journey through the medical landscape with the doctors who guide him. In a trailblazing move for French cinema, this series on transidentity is led by the very individual it concerns, shifting the perspective from the detached observer to the active participant. It invites the viewer on a revelatory expedition through the tumultuous waves of such a profound life choice. "Ocean" doesn't just describe an experience; it immerses us in it, guiding us through the deeply personal and political currents that shape the voyage of self-discovery and gender exploration. This series isn't just a documentary; it's an invitation to journey to the furthest reaches of selfhood, plunging into the uncharted depths of identity and the boundless ocean of the human experience.
