Did you know? To authentically portray Ángel’s pregnancy journey, the lead actor consulted with real transgender men who had experienced childbirth, and the film’s prosthetics team created a specialized, evolving silicone bump to accurately reflect the character’s changing body while preserving his masculine physique.
Why Watch: “A raw, thought-provoking masterwork, *9 Moons* shatters cinematic norms by placing a trans man’s pregnancy at its emotional core—delivering a gripping blend of vulnerability and strength that redefines masculinity.

Prepare for a film that will haunt your thoughts and spark vital conversations long after the credits roll.”
After a year-long break, personal trainer Ángel lands a gig at the city’s top-tier gym, and his life is finally falling into place. But a sudden wave of illness leads him to the hospital, where he gets a bombshell diagnosis: he’s pregnant. As a trans man nearing the end of his transition, Ángel faces an earth-shattering choice—one that will test his sense of self, his dreams, and everything he thought he knew about being a man.
