Toys

This short film, filmed at the Rural Exhibition, is a testimony that, based on 70 interviews with girls and boys of 9 and 10 years old, investigates the behavior guidelines imposed by conventional education and the results obtained. Boys are educated in a specific way, with very different life goals, and toys reflect this discrimination: kitchens, dolls, hairdryers, cosmetic equipment, the whole domestic world for girls. Creative games, those that awaken the imagination (trains, cars, building games, men in space), are intended for boys.
