Plot

What does being a man? What does being a woman? A search for identity that unites these two sexes to the same person.

Background

Männin is a term originated by Martin Luther, meaning woman created from the rib of man.( Verse Gen 2:23 ).

And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. One will call her she- man (Männin), based on this that she was taken out of the man". Lutherbibel

About the film

Männin is a psychological interrogation. Man and woman deal with the identity rules of society and try to become aware of their role. In doing so, they resort to their biblical ancestors , the first human pair and ancestral parents of all humans, Adam and Eve.

The dialogues of the film are alternately in German and French, and are intended to support the idea of duality.

Note
  • Both Adam and Eve are portrayed by the same person to reveal the duality and yet sameness of us all.
  • The film ends with a thesis of Franz Kafka. Oktavheft G ( II, 2 )

"We were expelled from paradise and therefore it remained intact. This expulsion is in a way a form of good luck, because had we not been expelled from paradise, paradise would have had to be destroyed.” (Franz Kafka) [5]
