The Seed of Man
During a Post-Apocalyptic period in the near future the majority of the European population has been wiped out by some sort of undefined plague. Cino and Dora, a young couple, are rounded up by what constitutes the authorities on an isolated temporary base. They are examined and given antibiotics which will protect them for six months, told to pick out a deserted house to live in the area, and use that time to conceive a child.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Ferreri constructs a post-apocalyptic scenario that relies on claustrophobic intimacy rather than grand spectacle. The film explores the fragility of human connection under the immense pressure of a biological duty, using barren landscapes and opulent ruins to mirror the characters' internal desolation.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound, unsettling meditation on the instincts of survival and reproduction. The experience is haunting, slow-burning, and deliberately uncomfortable. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Marco Ferreri
Best Watched
Watch in a focused, uninterrupted setting to fully absorb its slow-burn tension and atmospheric dread.
