action
Male is a psychological interrogation . Man and woman grapple with the identity rules of society and try to become aware of their role. In doing so, they fall back on their biblical ancestors, the first human couple and ancestors of all humans, Adam and Eve .
The film begins with nature shots and various noises. A voice accompanies the sequence of the pictures with biblical texts from Genesis : In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was desolate and empty. Then God said: “Let there be light! And there was light. Then on the fifth day God said: "Let us make people in our image, like us ..."
The second part of the film takes place in a vacuum . Man (Adam) and woman (Eva) lie naked, only wearing shoes, with their backs against each other in the fetus position on the floor. Both have headphones plugged into their ears. The woman's phone rings. An interrogation ensues that ends with the question: "And who will you be tomorrow".
The third part of the film shows a bucolic garden. Eva stands elegantly dressed in a black suit under the tree of life . Adam, dressed in a black tuxedo, surprises her. The interrogation continues, examining the identity of men and women in society . And again the question arises: "And who will you be tomorrow?"
The fourth part of the film takes place in a vacuum again. Man and woman talk on the phone and lose contact. They find that one cannot exist without the other. “Without you, no me. Until death do us part ”.
The fifth part of the film shows the fusion of the two into one, one male.
In the sixth and last part of the film you can see the hands of a woman and a man typing Kafka's thesis on a typewriter.
