Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Céline and Mathieu, a couple in their thirties who are farmers, are fighting relentlessly to adopt a child without any progress in their file. One day, they meet Darius and Julien, a homosexual couple who have started the process of GPA in Canada. The idea made its way, why not them? They ask themselves many questions, they hesitate. But despite their family's hostility to surrogate motherhood, they decided to go ahead.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
