Bedwetter

Pochcánek; Jan Hušek, 2023, versions: OR,ES, languages: ces

Director: Jan Hušek

Men still have a privileged position. Yet the concept of a “crisis of masculinity” is increasingly permeating the media along with a loosening of roles and a growing uncertainty about what it means to be a man today. The director Jan Hušek also asks this question. He would wet himself until the age of thirteen, which earned him the unflattering nickname that is the filmʼs title. In his open video diary, he captures the physical and spiritual transformation of his journey from boy to man. He returns to the woods and the roots of his childhood trauma. In doing so, he turns the camera on himself as well as on various teachers or his father. Perhaps the mark of adulthood, after all, is not overwrought masculinity, but the acceptance of one‘s inner “bedwetter”.
