To mark Intersex Awareness Day we are delighted to be screening a critically acclaimed award-winning film, notable for being the first in British cinema history to feature lead intersex characters.
Only Love Matters narrates the story of a young woman whose romantic life is disrupted when she discovers a book detailing the life of its intersex author. The discovery of the memoir serves as a catalyst for her to confront her own history.
Elsewhere, we see the experiences of an intersex mother who makes sacrifices for her adopted daughter and advocates for the rights of intersex individuals. Her life is a testament to overcoming adversity, transitioning from a challenging upbringing in a small village to achieving significant success.
Throughout her journey, themes of love, friendship, and humour play a vital role. The narrative intertwines the lives of two women from different generations, underscoring the enduring importance of love.
