XXY-47

I grew gynecomastia a year before my Bar-Mitzvah. I was ashamed of my Un-male body and spoke to my parents to understand what could be done. my Pediatrician sent me to a genetics test due to a hunch he had. He was right, I am unique, I have a syndrome that affects 1 in 600 males. I have an extra chromosome triplet in DNA, XXY-47.
This makes the right side of my brain dominant and is also responsible for my male infertility. The films tells the story of my coming to terms with the fact that I may never be a biological father.
