Directed by: Christine FRANÇOIS

France. 2003. Documentary. 55min. Color. OV.

Synopsis

Marie-Laure and Carla have loved each other for 25 years now; their three daughters were conceived by insemination. The law protects Marie-Laure's ties to the girls because she is their biological mother. But Carla, in order to be recognized as the second parent, has had to undertake adoption procedures for Giulietta, Luana, Zelina. The film reviews the file of statements prepared by friends and family that was transmitted to the judge. The statements, mostly written by heterosexuals with children, raise questions about parenthood in general, whether biological or not, about the consequences of the absence of a father, about the difference between the sexes and about the evolution of the family itself. Their overlapping affirmations frame and strengthen Carla's position. Why not a family with two mamas?
