Father time : why men are born to nurture?

A movie by Jacqueline Farmer et Alexandra Ternant, 2025

Documentary, 52'

Becoming a dad is the start of an extraordinary adventure in a man's life — but it’s also a biological transformation, the scale of which was unimaginable, just two decades ago. Today, scientists from a wide range of disciplines are exploring this emerging field of research and their discoveries are astonishing. By diving into our evolutionary past, this fascinating scientific investigation uncovers long-overlooked bonds between human males and their infants and asks if these ancient legacies can take on new meaning today and reshape the very fabric of our human societies.
