Overview

The obstacle-strewn journey of Romain and Antoine, a homosexual couple, involved in a long and difficult adoption process. After five years of waiting, they see their adoption application stalled for largely societal reasons: the system's reluctance to place children with a male couple, particularly in so-called “late” adoptions. Despite their sincere love and deep desire to become parents, they encounter prejudice, such as being required to prove the presence of female role models in their social circle.
