Synopse
HYBRID Do men really run faster than women? The film shines a light on the stereotypical gender relations in sport. A collective of queer athletes in the Olympic Stadium in Athens honour those excluded from a place on the podium: the trans marathon runner Amanda Reiter, who has to fight the prejudice of event organizers – and the 800m runner Annet Negesa, who was urged to have a hormone-changing operation by international sports organisations. Together, they create a radical, poetic Utopia far away from rigid gender rules.
