Son!

'Girls should not have opinions. Higher education is useless if you have no husband. If you have a daughter, she will cook you a meal or give you medication. A son will protect you and a daughter will feed you.' Don’t they both deserve to live? The animation touches upon a difficult and hidden subject – sex-selective abortions performed in Montenegro. It employs stereotypical opinions on the two genders, fragments of conversations and singing illustrated with images derived from Balkan tradition. Intertwining scenes of individual stages of human life, from birth to death, emphasize the power of patriarchy, so well-engrained in the system.
