- You were asked to come

because the family council
will entrust you with a child

for adoption.

It's a boy of 2 months and a half,
born in Brest on September 26th.

It was put back to adoption
by his biological mother.

- Okay.
- History view

of the child,

the service has selected
3 files of candidates for adoption

and it's your record
that the board retained

to be his adoptive mother.

- But if there are 3 folders
who were selected,

what happens to the other 2?
- There were 3 folders,

but there is only one
to have been selected,

yours.

- So I have to defend my file?

- No, Mrs. Langlois.

We propose a related.

If you accept it,
Mr. Ayyad, our psychologist,

will give you a presentation of the baby,
his story, his health check.

- Ah, is it a baby?

But how old is it?

- 2 months and a half.
- Less than a year ?

- Yes. He was born on September 26th.

You can think before you answer.

If you answer favorably,

you will meet Theo
at the end of the week

and within ten days,
if all goes well,

he will be at your place.

Sigh of satisfaction

Soft music

...

Door

- (Jean.)

(John, it's time to go to school.)

- (There's no school, it's Sunday.)

(It's okay ?)

(Go back to bed, go, go, go.)

(Enzo, do not bother your big brother.)

(Let him sleep.)

- Stopped ! Stopped !

Stopped !

wailing

Stopped !

...

- Leave him alone !

- Leave me ! I'm going to kill him !
- You calm down.

Stopped.

- Leave me !

- Are you in pain?
- Let go of me !

He's coughing.
- Calm down.

- Let go of me !
- I've been reporting for 2 years

that he can do more. He wants,
he must be separated from his brother.

Why we never met

to make a good decision?

- Keeping the link is the rule.
We do not separate the siblings.

- Why do not we separate
siblings?

Why do not we separate them
when should we separate them?

Why it's always up to them
to adapt ?

We can not adapt to them
for once ?

Their life is not
difficult enough?

I told you it would come back
on the small.

He nearly died.
Another 5 minutes and he was dead.

That's your siblings,
a death and fratricide of 11 years?

Enzo, at 9, is already sedating.

It must be supported
in a suitable place.

I am a family assistant.
I do not know anything about disability.

Same for Jason.

It must be put elsewhere,
to remove him from his brother,

his parents shit!

- We did not have the right.
We must maintain the link.

- It's stupid !

We are useless.
We are poor bastards.

- That's enough.

We talked about it, we understood
the difficulties you encounter.

We make arrangements.

Can we talk about the future?

- I want more teens.

I want to do more homework
for the time being.

I need...
There is more water in the tank.

- You gave a lot, Jean.

Little laugh of spite

Strong breathing

...

- I...
- Hello.

- I think I'm going to give birth.
- Have you been followed here?

- No.
- OKAY.

Your name and your life card.

- I do not want to keep it.

She sighs.

Strong breathing

...

- This is your first childbirth?
She nods.

- No pregnancy monitoring?

Do you know where you are?

- I think it's the end.
- Are you full?

- I believe.
- I will examine you.

- I'll lift your legs.
Like that.

- So, breathe

well strong.

She blows.

...

I'm looking at you.

...

It's too late

for the epidural.

It will be fast,

I feel his head.

What is your name ?
We will team up,

I need to talk to you,
to call you by name.

Not necessarily yours.

Push Charlotte.
Great. We harden the belly.

Shoot your hands.
Come on, we're still pushing.

Again, again, again. And stop!

Release everything.

I feel it, there. I see his head.

We're almost there, Charlotte.

It's beautiful what you do,
Charlotte.

Another last effort.

Come on, pull on your hands,
block everything.

Take plenty of air and push.
Go again, again, again.

- (It's good.)
- That's great. I have his head.

It's gone, we go again.
We push. Lets' go.

Again and again !

- (It's good.)
- We are almost there.

- (Come on, that's good.)

- Stop, do not push anymore! Here.

Tears
And that's it, well done, he's here.

...

...

- It's a little boy.

...

Do you want to see him?

...

- You want to take it on you?

It's normal to be afraid.

Take it, it'll be fine.

...

Everything went well.
Elodie takes your baby

and I take care of you.

I remove the placenta
and I will go and give him the first care.

- He is fine ?

No problem ?
- He is impeccable.

- I have clothes for him
in the bag.

- It's fine baby ?

- You are very very beautiful.

So, I wrote that. That's it ?

- Very well.

- His things are there.

- OKAY.

- I will listen

your breathing.

Crying newborns

...

She knocks.

- It's okay ?

- The delivery went well.
The baby is fine.

- She put him in the breast?
- No.

- She wore it?
- No.

- Touch ?

OKAY.

- Right away.
- Yes.

Soft music

...

- Hello,

I call you because I have been called
by the maternity of Brest.

...

- It's here.

...

- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

...

She knocks.

She opens the door.

- Hello. I am a social worker.

My name is Mathilde François.

I am sent
by the County Council

to meet you.

Did you warn me that I was coming?
- Yes.

- I can sit ?

- Yes.

- It's okay ? You were welcomed?

The delivery went well?

- Yes.

I arrived a little late
so I did not have an epidural.

- Oh...

Obviously it hurts.

And your baby, did you see him?
To say goodbye?

- No.

I do not want to see him,
I do not want him.

- You are entitled to aids
financial and educational

to allow you to raise
this child correctly.

I will tell you everything,

everything the state has put in place.
- I know, but I do not want help.

I do not want to keep it.

I can not.
- I am not here

to make you change your mind,

but to accompany you
whatever your choice.

To put back

your baby to adoption,
it is necessary to draw up a report.

I have the delegation
of the County Council

to sign this minutes of abandonment.

It's me and me alone
who will sign it.

You will remain anonymous.

You have decided
to give birth under the secret,

and I am here
to protect your secret.

I am held in secret.

I am a grave.

And I will collect all the elements
that you will give me

to complete a CNAOP document,

the National Council
of Access to Personal Origins.

We will complete this document together.

You can put everything
you will find it useful for the child.

You can leave your identity
in a closed confidential fold

which will allow your child
to eventually find you.

You can leave a word,

an object

or nothing.

It's up to you.

All children
do not do research.

There are even few.
But if he does it one day,

all you have wanted
leave him him will be precious

to understand where he comes from

and the choice you made
for him at birth.

At the signing of the minutes,

your baby will be saved
as a temporary pupil

and you will not have any connection with him anymore.

You will have 2 months of withdrawal
to go back on your decision

and take back your child.

Two months to clear
things for you,

to evaluate if your decision
will suit you all your life.

At the end of this period,

2 months to the day
after the signature of the minutes,

it will be saved
as an official ward.

It will be adoptable.

We have time to establish
the verbal procedure :

we have 3 days
until the declaration in town hall.

We can use these 3 days
As you wish.

We can discuss what is happening
for you today.

Or we can draw up the minutes
immediately and leave.

What is your project for your baby?

What do you envision for him?

Do you have wishes?

- Bah ...

I wish he were happy.

Let him be entrusted to people who love him,

people who could not have children.

- We have to take pictures of the baby.

- I can do them.

- I'm fine.

- OKAY.

- Right away.

- Right away.

- Hello Gaëlle,
it's Isabelle du PFPE.

We will surely have a pupil
to welcome.

Probably tomorrow.
You would be available?

- I have the impression
that it went well.

Your son looked happy.

- Yes.

- Do we continue like this?
Visits in the morning are better, right?

- Yes.

I have clearer ideas
than the afternoon.

But rather late morning, otherwise ...

- OK that works.
We will do like that.

And I thought,
you should take a shower

before coming to see your little one.
When you come, he is handsome:

he puts gel, perfume,

the jacket you gave him.
- OKAY.

- It will be nickel.
- OKAY.

- She's extra, this jacket!
He wreaks havoc with it.

A crocodile ?

A teddy bear ?
- No.

I would like to see him more.

- See how that goes,
we will be able to envisage

to extend visitation rights.

I'll talk about it next week.
- OKAY.

- I know it's hard.

But also enjoy
from this time when you are alone.

It's time for you,
to treat you,

to restore you.

Someone knocked.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Can you go see me?

- It's very boring.

Mrs. Richard is already making a welcome.
Gaëlle is on weekends in the South.

Karine !

- Oh sorry. Nadia?
- I'm waiting for her to call me back

- And Beatrice?
- Not know.

- Oh no ! You have not got it yet
worked with her.

But she begins to tire.

- What do we do ?

- We ask ourselves, we will be more efficient.

- I can not. It falls badly this baby.

It's a mess with teens,
it's a mess

to the County Council.
I am under water!

Think.

Do not you think of someone?

- Yes.
- Great !

* Radio
- Band of Charlots!

* ...
Yes ! He is leader in the locker room!

* ...

It's wrong. It's wrong.

Hi Karine.

What are you doing here ?
- Did not you get my messages?

- I do not listen to my cell,
I need to cut.

- I was told that.
- Yes.

- Exactly, I have something for you.

- A cure of sleep?

- No, is bad,
a cure of sleep!

- After a moment
I started to feel him moving.

That's where I realized
that I was really pregnant,

that maybe that would not happen.

- And then ?

- Nothing.

It was the last 2 months.

I tried to be a little careful.

- You could share all that
with relatives, relatives?

- No. Nobody could do anything
for me anyway, so ...

- It does not have...

- I wanted to talk about it
with my mother, but ...

I think...

I know she would not understand
what I do.

She would not bear.

She would not bear
that his daughter abandons a child.

I do not know how to say.

That it's part of his life.

And me, it's to become a mother
with this child who ...

It's not possible, actually.

It's impossible.

- Yes.

- For me, having a child,
it's something positive.

I do not like him.

I will not get there.

- Well, it's late.

You want
to have a break?

That I'll come back tomorrow morning?

- I'm fine.

- If you feel able,

it would be good for your baby
that you spoke to him,

that you explain to him
what you have decided for him,

that you thought of him,

to his future, to his happiness.

- He will understand nothing.

- He will not understand the words,

but he will perceive the importance
and the emotion you put in it.

- I was offered to make a welcome
today.

I said no.

- Why ?
- I think I want to stop.

- To do what ?

- I dunno.

Used in something or ...

I dunno.

- No, you do not know.

You're not going to do a job to con ...
- I stop working.

I take care of the garden,
Pauline, of you.

I'm tired, Laure.

It is useless this job.

It does not work what we do.

You saw it well.

- I'm not happy at all,
I disagree.

I want

bring money for 2 but it takes
that you do something strong, useful.

Stop complaining.
I too am tired.

When you do not work,
you go around in circles.

You're all tense.

You're not sexy.

You're dull.

I do not like you

Tell them you've changed your mind.

How old is he ?

- 15 years old

- Ah yes...

- It's not true.

It has 1 day. It's a baby.

- Oh yeah ?

(The cow.)
- (Yeah.)

* Televisions

* ...

Someone knocked.
- Yes.

- I'm coming to say goodbye.

- Yes, of course.

He hiccups.

...

...

...

...

Someone knocked.
- Yes ?

- Hello. It's okay ?

You managed to sleep?
- I said goodbye to the baby.

- Ah! It's amazing
for him, you know.

You are ready ?

We will fill out the minutes

and write the information
that you want to leave.

You thought about the name?

- I chose 2.

You only have to choose the 3rd one.

I would like.

And I would like to leave him a letter.
- Yes ?

- Can I read it to you?

- Yes.

It's good.

- I leave it to you then.

- Of course !

So...

Age.

You wish to give
information about your age?

- 21 years old.

- You have a way
to go home?

- Yes, I am fine.

I am going to university.

I have a TD this afternoon.

My name is Clara.

- Hello Madam.

- Hello.

I come to declare
a child born under the secret.

- Thank you.

There, if you want to sign.

- Thank you.

- Whore...
- I'm almost there.

She blows.

- You can help us ?
- No.

Sorry, I'm not at all manual.

- Neither do I.

- Neither do I.
- Well me neither.

Hello.
- Hello.

- HELLO.
- Hello.

- I go.
- Yes.

- Are you sure it does not show?
- No do not worry.

How are you, Mathilde?
I have it for a minute.

- She's a woman in her twenties.

This is an unwanted pregnancy

from a relationship without a future
with a man she knows little.

No violence, a priori.

She lives in the north of the department.

Door

- It's okay ?
- Yes.

I dunno
if I can do that again ...

- You will know.

From now on this kid,
it is the apple of your eyes,

it's simple.
- Here.

Soft music on the piano

...

...

- Do you know the procedure?

- Yes.

...

Hello.
- Hello.

...

Beep of the electrocardiograph

...

- Hello Theo. My name is Karine.

I am a specialized educator.

...

As you know it,
your mom can not take care of you

but she charged us

to watch over you.

And we are here for that.

For you.

...

We welcome you as you are.

If your mom keeps her choice,

people will take
a decision for you.

The heart accelerates.

You will have parents
adoption for life.

...

If she retracts,

we will welcome him

and we'll help him find you

and take care of you.

...

Waiting,
you're going to do a step at Jean's house.

He will take care of you.

...

- I can...
- Of course.

- You can...

...

Hello Theo.

I can ?
- (Of course.)

- (Come here .)

Hi my man.

(But how beautiful you are,
you, say so. Here, come.)

bell

- Hello.
- Hello.

- That's the report I'm going to send
To the commission of approval.

- Is it a favorable opinion?

- I will read you my report.

- That, I do not care!
- Hold on.

- I want to know if you issued
a favorable opinion or not.

- I have reservations.

- You see !

- I gave an unfavorable opinion.

- It's disgusting.

- I would like to tell you why.
Our psychologist and I think

that you are not ready
for adoption.

- Nothing to beat your shit report
and your permission.

We want a kid,
no one will stop us.

- Yes I know.

I tried to make you understand,

but you do not want to understand.

This child would not be

the same as the one
that you would have had biologically.

It's more complex.

You are not ready to handle that.

- We are ready!
- It's just that...

We have so much love to give.

- I know. I understand

your pain but it's not
only question of love.

- Do not listen. She knows nothing.
She does not know us.

- I do not pretend to know you.

My opinion is not always followed
by the commission.

I need to assess your suitability
to become "adoptive" parents,

not parents at all.
I have to limit the risks for the child.

- Well, leave. Now. Go.

Please.

- My job is not to find
a child to parents who are suffering,

but to find the best parents
possible to children in difficulty.

Theo is crying softly.

- Here, my grand.
It's over soon, do not worry.

- I'm going to sting him.

The pacifier, if needed.
- (Here it is, like that.)

- Come on,

we are ready.
- Here.

...
- Perfect.

It's stung.

The worst is done.
- Well, you're brave!

(Viewing).

Theo, I'm not staying tonight.
I'll be back tomorrow morning.

I go.
- OKAY.

- I'll be back around 7 am You will be here ?

- No, I'm not working tomorrow.

- OKAY. You do not leave him
too long alone?

- No, we'll take it with us.
- Thank you.

Light brouhaha

...

- Oh !

Hi !

How is it going ?

I was told that your name was Theo.
It's beautiful.

He screams.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- It's okay ?

- Yes.

- Was it tonight?
- I do not know, I work in mater.

- Oh ok.

Hello Theo.

Hello my grand. How is it going ?

Have you had a good night?
Tell me everything.

- Who are you ?

- The family assistant.

- It's not you who will be there tonight,
so do not take it

in your arms.
- Sorry ?

In fact, I'm here for that, me.

His arms, for the moment, it's me.
What time did he eat?

- Good ... goodbye. Have a good day.

- Likewise.
- Goodbye, Theo.

What time did he eat?
- 5:30

- Leave us,
I will give him the bath.

What an idiot.
She made you cry that big bitch.

Hot chocolate, blah.
Soup, oh no, not even in dreams.

Cappuccino, please.
What do you think ? We start?

It's going to be rotten,
it's always rotten.

Should continue

to drink well to gain weight
to leave the maternity,

like that, I'll take you home.

The whole family is waiting for you.
They can not wait to meet you.

I'll introduce you to my wife, a bomb,
my daughter, a bomb too.

We have a big house
not at all humid.

There is a large garden where there is a vegetable garden
where a lot of stuff is growing.

And there are nice bunnies
because they eat the plantations.

Babbling

Shout

- (Whore.)

(Oh fuck !)

She knocks.
- Fabien!

...
Fabien!

- Thank you !
- Thank you.

- Damn it, Fabien!
- What?

- Your python is in my living room!
- Oh shit.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Why is he doing this ?
- No !

Why are you taking him out of his jar?

- For him to breathe.

- Go get your thing
otherwise I stumble with a hammer.

- Wait, must
I'm getting replaced.

- I do not give a damn!
- Uh ...

Sylvie!
- Hurry, there.

Soft music on the piano

...

- Mrs Langlois Alice

She lived her childhood at Le Mans.

Madam sees herself
as a calm and reserved child

who loved to daydream and read comics.

She pursues medium schooling

without orientation project
particular professional.

...

She studies for a year
the visual arts, then change lanes.

She graduated as an accountant
and starts working life.

Madam is the youngest
a sibling of 3 children.

It has relationships
accomplices and solidarity

with this siblings
and his nephews and nieces.

She is also the godmother of the child
of his best friend.

His father was a doctor.

He works with his daughter
in the middle of the handicap.

They have good relationships,
full of affection and modesty.

She describes her mother
as shy and austere

with whom communication
is not easy.

Madam presents herself as whole,
tolerant and spontaneous.

Her relatives describe her as sensitive,
open to others and integrates.

...

She wants to welcome
a child from 0 to 2 years,

whatever they are
its origin or ethnic type.

...

- My name is Lydie Magre.

I am a social worker
for the adoption service for 6 years.

I have to make an evaluation report
about you and your project.

This evaluation will take the form
4 to 5 interviews

over 9 months.

Then I will write a report
for the approval commission

who will decide whether to grant you

an approval for a candidacy
to adoption.

I am not here
to judge you, trap you

or conduct an investigation.
I accompany you.

Okay ?

- OKAY.

- I take notes
because I have a memory of goldfish.

You went
at the information meeting?

- Absolutely.
- Yes.

- It was Joel. What did you remember?

- Well...

That we had to get married.

We are getting married next month.

- (Okay.)

- And finally,
I am very happy that we are getting married.

- And about adoption

international,
you inquired

on the government website?

- Not yet, but we'll do it.

- It's important that you know
the frame of your project.

It's a long and difficult journey
which does not always succeed.

- We know

it's hard, but we're lucky,
like everyone.

- What is

brought you to adoption?
- Go ahead.

- Actually, it's been 3 years, even 4 years,

we are trying to make a baby.

We tried naturally.
There, we discovered

that we had a problem of fertility.
- Me !

It's me who...
- It's us.

This is our problem,
there is no manager.

From there, we started

in a PMA course.

We did several IVF, without success.

And at the 5th, we stopped.
- Okay.

Who spoke about adoption?

- It's you, no?
- Yes I think.

- It took me a long time
before you can consider it.

Let's say it was not
obvious right away ...

to realise...

Finally, to accept
that I will never have a child of mine.

Finally biological.
- It's normal.

- But after that it's more like me
who revived the idea

and do the steps and ...
- And you sir ?

It was not too hard to give up

to the biological child?
- No.

I take what life gives me
or not give me and I go,

without asking too many questions.
- Stéphane is strong.

Yes, he is more ... Me, I needed
to help me,

I saw a psychiatrist.
- Okay.

- It may not be worth it
to put it in your report.

Now, it's great.

- A good candidate for adoption,
it's not someone who has not suffered.

It's not someone who has
a smooth or flat life, without problems.

It does not exist.

We all have minefields
and flower fields.

What we want to know is if you have
managed to clear your field.

Adoption is not just
the meeting of 3 people,

it's the meeting of 3 stories.

You have to digest your story,

as you will have to digest
that of your child,

then help your child
to digest his.

Being able to ask for help,

Its very important.

To ask questions.

What do you think of women
who give their babies

to adoption?

She is hesitating.

- (I dunno.)
- "Can I love a child

"who is not from me?"

You project yourself
in what he could live?

Abandonment, abuse,
uprooting,

breaks,
lack of emotional connection

How to make it happy
while he does not know happiness?

How will you communicate
if he does not speak your language?

All he says, you do not understand.
How to do ?

If your child experiences racism,
how to accompany it?

"Why was I abandoned?"

"My parents are alive?"
There are more orphans.

"How much did it cost you to have me?"

"Why did not you give
money to my mother? Do you have any. "

"You're not my father,
you're not my mother, you're nothing. "

How do you answer all this?

- I dunno.

coups

- What's this ?
- Someone

wants to come in and see you

- Get in.

- You cause too much, fool.

- If Nikolai Mikhaylovich

you owed money,
I will return it to you

but today I do not have any.

- You can not pay me?
Perfect, we take note!

And we want me to keep my cool!
How not to be

angry ?

- The mother is a student.

At first, there was no violence
during pregnancy.

She lives in the north of the department.

There are no known health reasons
except a little asthma.

- And aside from a breath to the heartbeat

which will require
regular supervision,

he is in perfect health.

But he switches in fact
in the category

"children with special needs".

The family council

gave his instructions
to find parents in Thà © o.

You have 2 months to select
3 or 4 matching folders

the following criteria, in the respect

the chronological order of the depots
of approval requests.

43 years old, without children,

living in the south of the department.

Approved to welcome
a ward of the state

may present a health concern.

Here, mild heart defect.

I add, and I'm happy to live here
before my retirement,

only for the first time,
the family council opened the welcome

of a ward of the infant state
to single-parent families.

Thà © o was born on September 26th.
The date of the family council

will be fixed in December.
Lydie, you will be the reference

of this baby.
- OKAY.

- This is my daughter Pauline's room.

The children's bathroom

where you will take your bath.

That's our room, you see?

And there, look.

Tada! This is your room!

You like her ?

- I'm happy
we rework together.

It's been a long time.
- Me too.

I hope it'll be ok
because I feel a little off ...

I do not want to contaminate the little one.

- You do not look out.

Is it okay with you?
- Yes.

- Your daughter, your wife?

- My daughter, super. And...

With my wife, it's going very well.

And with Jacques, how are you?
- Not.

It's not OK at all.
- Oh?

It will be fine ?

- No I think not. I left her.

- Ah yes ?

Shit, downright?

She laughs.

Did you meet someone or ...?
- No, not even.

- Shit !

And your kids?
- They are defeated. It's shit.

Laughs

- His hands are minus.
- Minus, yes.

Door

- Hi my cat.
- Hi.

- Is it gem?

- Yes!

Hey ! Hi Theo!

You're too classy!
I'm glad you're here.

- Then my good man. Were you awake?

You have to call me.

Are not you hungry?

(Come on my cat.)

Come here my baby. Oh la la la la.

You are hungry ? You are hungry ?

- No !

This is my last!

Go ahead, it does not matter.

That's mum.

Hello.

- Hello.

Give your mom a hand.
At in 1 hour.

- No ! It does not happen like that,
I have already told you.

We will enjoy the park, it rains more.

We're going, huh?

- I can not leave her alone
with his kid.

She is too unpredictable.
When his mother arrives,

the girl gives me her blankie.

And I understand it.
Did you see her, Christian?

You would not be afraid for your blanket?

- Yes, exactly.

- We are asking for a psychiatric report.
- Yes.

We can not work with her.

We must suspend visits,
she's doing too much damage.

- OKAY.

And the pupil?

- It's okay.

He adapts well.

- (He is cute.)

- He sleeps a lot. He is very calm.

A little too much maybe.
It is not very toned yet.

- There was something
in his medical checkup?

- No.

- Are you sure of the type?
- 100%. Jean is nickel.

Nothing alarming.
Just have to see how he continues

to wake up.

* Sizzling

* ...

- Well, that's fine.

He takes his bottles well?
- Yes.

When I wake him up
He does not claim, in fact.

- Never ?
- Sometimes.

- Not enough.

It'll be fine, do not hesitate to talk to him.
- I do not stop !

- I know.
- I'm not going to get him drunk either.

- Continue, that's fine.
- That, I do not know.

- John, it's not your fault.

During the day, you take it with you,

always a good look,

always with you in your smell.
- Yes.

- Do not let go, just help him a little.

I will spend every day.

- That's great
if you have time to say it.

- Normally yes.

- After, it's too long.
- I have time too.

- It is complicated. You describe me

these costumes, I see nothing.

"He wears a worn brown vest
wool knit stitch of rice.

"She is wrapped in a black shawl

openwork lace
like his mourning square. "

Frankly !

- I'm not going to just put
"shawl, skirt, pants".

- Yes it is.
- No, is bad.

They also like pretty costumes,
they are like us.

- Yes, but simplifies anyway.

It's good !

That's good, my daughter.

It's new, that.

- It's my neighbor to be

forgive.
He almost killed me.

- What does he has ?

- No nothing.

I have something to give you
for Blanche's birthday.

Here.

- You're not coming ?
- No.

I have a job this weekend,

and Romain's girlfriend would be pregnant.

There is the pompom.
Already she was drinking me before!

- I like it.

- No, she's stupid, dad.
We will not lie to each other.

She is hesitating.

I will take the children
next week.

Say hello to everyone.

I am still an employee
in Stéphane's box.

It gives me time
to find another thing, so it's okay.

And my family helps me too.

I moved in

in a 3 rooms in Quimper rather pretty.
- You inquired

on open countries
single-parent families?

- Of course.

It reduces the range of possibilities,
It's certain.

But hey, I'll have
fewer files to fill.

And...

I would like to do
an application for approval

for a child with peculiarities.

A bigger child.
I know I'll never have a baby.

I will not live that, infants.
It's like that.

It's not for me.

But...

It's a shame because ...

A year ago, we were
well left to have

a related in Colombia.

If we had not left,
today we might have a baby.

She's crying.

I'm sorry.

- We will wait
before launching a new request.

- What? Oh no.

I'm ready, me.

It's like before
except that I am alone.

- So it's more like before.

- I do not have the time.
Already it's gone for 9 months.

- A divorce is a carnage,
it leaves traces everywhere.

Take the time to get back,
to project you into a single mother.

- I already did that!

I thought a lot
and I'm put back there.

- Come on.

See you in a few months.

- Do not do that to me.

- Alice, you need a new dynamic.

You will get there,
I trust you.

Soft music

...

...

- So, these tests?

- What?
- Have you passed the tests?

- Yeah.

- So what ?

- All is well, he hears very well.

- I just passed
take some papers.

Where are the children?

- They dine at Mamie's house.

We make love ?

- How?

- As you wish.
In the living room. Or up there.

We have time, I believe.

- Are you kidding me ?
You're leaving me,

you destroy everything
and you want to make love?

- What are the pajamas today?

That one?

Too much this one.

Here !

We like him, huh?
You'll be handsome like a truck.

Theo, look at me, big guy.

Far Door

(Look at me.)
- John?

- I'm upstairs.

Why do not you look at me?
- Hi the most beautiful.

- It's okay ?

- Hello Theo.

The door slams.

- He did not move.

- Go Theo.

OKAY.

Go climb, climb,

you climb, you climb, you climb.

He sighs.

Bravo.

Low tone.

You'll take it, you'll see, Maëlle.
He is a bit disintegrated.

It looks like a rag doll.

He does not hang on.

You see ? He does not hang on.

You see ?
She nods.

She sighs.

- Thank you, Jean.
- Please.

What? You do not see ? Observe!

- But I'm looking at him ...
but I see nothing.

- Observe a baby,
it's not looking at it, it's feeling.

- I'm not interested
babies, actually.

- You leave.

Wait for me in the car.
You're in training, not on vacation.

Portable

- Oh !

...

Hello?

- Hello, it's Isabelle du PFPE.

* - Yes .
- I'm with Karine

Theo's referent
and Sophie, our psychiatrist.

We are a little worried.
- Very!

- Different cross observations
on the baby

make us think
that Theo develops perhaps

relational disorders.
- At 3 weeks, he does not really wake up.

Looks like he's in sleep,
like a TV.

This is worrying
and it challenges us

because there is no correlation
between his behavior

and what you said

* of his biological mother.
Usually, there are some.

* Have you kept in touch with her?
- No.

* - You are sure that pregnancy

* went well?
No violence?

- No, I'm not sure.

I am not from the police.

She said
what she wanted to tell me.

* It's his right.
I do not have to tell you more.

- We do not call you
to gossip on this woman.

- We work for this baby,
and he is not well.

* - I'm sorry for this baby,

but I have nothing more to say.

* It took a long time to realize
that she was pregnant

* and that it would not happen by magic.

* But after, she succeeded
to invest your pregnancy and your baby.

* She said goodbye.
She even left him a letter.

- What's in it?

* - No but

you realize what you ask me?

- Maybe there's an info
who would help the little one?

* - Sorry, but I will not deliver you
the contents of this letter.

There is no revelation in
who can help this baby.

Even if there were,
I do not have the right to give it to you.

You believe what you do,

and bah me too.
* - Mathilde, help us.

In these few hours
spent with her,

did you feel
strong or latent ambivalence

in the relationship
from this mother to her baby?

- You think we're giving birth

and let's go
with an empty stomach and a light heart?

* - Not .
- Excuse me, I have to do.

* - Wait .

Babies feel ambivalence
and it's hard to bear.

They are not mature enough.

- It's easy when
it's a baby to say anything.

- Them felt stress,
rejection, violence maybe!

Someone has to put words on it

otherwise the baby will go

and we do not have the right to crash!
And we will not crash.

- Otherwise, it's really shit here!
Teen rotten,

crappy parents ...

- This baby will not go to adoption
as long as it will not be proved

the reassurance of a bond
with his family assistant.

- For that, someone has to assume
for this baby the story of his life.

- If her mother did not do it,

* someone has to do it!
* -There must be a relay.

* - Did you do it, you?

* You either,
you can not plant yourself.

- What do you want me to do ?

* - I do not know, get out of here!

- Hello.

I am Mathilde François,
the gathering.

- Oh yes, hello.
- We saw each other almost a month ago.

- Yes, the little ward.
- Exactly.

The night of the birth,
the mother came to see her baby.

- Maybe, but I was not there.

It's not me
who was on guard. Elodie?

- Yes.

Hello.
- Hello.

- You remember that the pupil's mother

came back to see him
the night after delivery?

- Yes Yes.
She came to say goodbye.

- So what ?
- Nothing.

I left them.

She stayed

10 minutes and she left.

- I wanted to make sure

that she had said goodbye to him.

- Yes.
- Here.

- Theo is fine?

- Yes. Well no, maybe not.

Thank you. Goodbye.

- Wait!

Wait.

She came to say goodbye
but she said nothing.

- How do you know ?

- I stayed behind the door
to listen.

She did not say a word. Nothing.
- Oh.

Thank you.

- Theo,

I saw you at the maternity ward,
but you slept.

I saw your mom too.

She could not talk to you,
but she wanted it.

I want to tell you that your mom
gave you for adoption

for you to be happy,

She wanted the best for you.
She found you beautiful.

She wanted to know how you were doing.

Your mom wrote you a letter
that you may read one day.

She wrote you
that she had good parents

and she wanted you to have some too.

That she knew that for you,
she would not be a good mother.

And that was hard.

That she hoped to be one day

and that her children would be proud of her,
including you.

She wrote to you that she was hoping
that you could understand.

That she did not know well
your dad but he had

a beautiful smile.

And that, like her,
he loved music.

- Perhaps,
she tells him horrors?

If she traumatizes it, what do we do?

- We fuck her in the canal.

- OKAY.

They make me crazy your ass.

She laughs.

Wait, wait.

He did not cry?
- No.

No. Do not stop.

Theo cries.

...

...
- How are you, my boy?

Need something?

...

Come on, come here, come on.
You are hungry ? Are you hungry, huh?

Are you thirsty? Oh yes.

...

He is crying.
I'll give you a bottle, yeah.

Hubbub

...

...

* - Hello .

* My name is Alice,
I will accompany you

* during this Chekhov play.

* I hope this staging
will please you. We are

* at Mrs. Popova's.

* She is wearing a nightie
transparent pale pink,

* a black lace shawl
and mesh mittens.

* Louka, his servant,
is wearing a long brown vest,

* wool knit stitch rice.

* Black in the room.

* Mrs. Popova, sitting on her bed,
drinks vodka on the bottle.

Stroke

* They listen to the sound.
She rolls the bottle on the floor.

- eye for eye, tooth for tooth,

we will fight a duel.

- A duel ?
* - She takes off her belt,

* put on her nightie and put on a shirt.

- I'm going to shoot her ...

Laughs

Like a chicken!

* - Smirnov sticks on his back.

- You have to hold the weapon like that.

* - They exchange a look.
- What an amazing woman.

Laughs

Shoot

* - She's shooting in the air, a chicken is falling.

Laughs

...

- We drink every night.

- It's on the contract.
- I'll read it again.

- There is a great little bar nearby.

- 3 nights that I do not sleep.

- I'm thirsty, come on.

- You come ?

- Yes OK.
- Yeah?

- I'm too dead. Tomorrow.

- Ciao.
- The coward, he abandons us.

- It's like when we hear
a couple talking behind a partition.

We hear everything but we see nothing,
and suddenly, silence.

What are they doing ? We are here
to tell what's going on.

- It's interesting.
- Very!

I like it a lot.

And you, when will it be ?

- Whenever.
Next month normally.

- This is your 2nd?
- 3rd!

No,

after I stop.
I had said that the last time.

- If you have too many, do not hesitate.

- This new job

change things
compared to adoption?

- A little.

Let's say I have a less stable life.

But as I lost my mother,

I touched an inheritance
and suddenly I opened

a time savings account

who gives me a longer leave
on arrival of the child.

And I would like to do
a change of instructions

and open my project
to children with special needs.

I think I'll be able to handle
certain disabilities or diseases.

Not all but ...
- No, not all,

it should be prepared.
- Yes,

I know. I started to...

to sort out ...

with my doctor.

She hums.

...

Portable

Tears

...

...

- Well what?

...

Wa-wa-wa.

...

But say so.

You're funny, it's late,
You have to sleep.

Honey, honey, honey ...
Here, take the pacifier.

Hold the pacifier a little, the pacifier.

...

We do not care about the pacifier.

...
You can not eat all night.

...
Come, we sleep.

(I agree so much with you.)

It's good to sleep too.

...

- I want to say green.

But it's not green. It's blue.

- Yeah!

Applause

- Who gives it to me?
- Mia.

- OKAY.

I do not want to crash.
I would say green.

- Bravo!
- She is strong !

- Another ?

Hubbub

...

One, only one!
- Feddi.

Feddi.

- Warning ! I think that
I am very very strong because

it's a yellow!
Of course ! But of course !

Hou!
- We applaud!

- Yeah!

Happy screaming

- I have at least guessed 14!

- She is strong.
- Bravo the children.

- It's okay ?

- And you ?
- Yes.

- There are the Piriou.

The little one would be nice

at home, I think.
- Uh ...

If I can say something,
Theo had a not-so-simple start.

He needs a lot
carrying, endurance,

availability and flexibility too.
Ms. Piriou is extra,

but she is rigid.

If naps or meals

are not fixed after 2 months,
she will flip.

- But no.
- Yes.

In addition she can put herself
in availability only 10 weeks.

- It's not enough.

You have to be able to take a little

which has ignition delay.
- I think I have the right person.

Alice Langlois.

It corresponds to the criteria set
by the family council.

First application for approval
8 years ago.

It is open
children with special needs.

She is from
of a big family, alive.

She can put herself
in long availability.

She works
in the middle of the handicap.

She is 41 years old, she is single.

- Yes !

It's open to single-parent families
but we are not obliged

to present a single person.

- I do not feel obliged.
I think it's the right person.

If you're not happy,
you only have to change the law.

Republic Square
is 4 minutes away.

- I do not have any problems
with single parenting,

but I could not say

that she is the right person.

- You saw her without seeing her.
You botched your job.

If you had listened

a bit more...
But no, do not listen, you speak.

And they understand nothing

to what you tell them, people!
They do not have an integrated psychic dico.

- You do not understand
and yet I'm vulgarizing a max,

you know ?

- Calm! Calm.
- I have an atypical profile

today, it's the Gautier.

They are modest, simple.

They have their heads well done.

They gave up the adoption
international because of the money.

But they are very good.

They are ready
and I think it's their turn.

- They are interesting.

They have not moved too much
since their 2nd approval ...

- Of course since they gave up
to international adoption!

It's you who do not listen.
- Good.

I thought of Mr. and Mrs. Le Garrec.

- Have you seen them recently?

I saw them

last month
and it's terrible but ...

I think it's too late for them.
They are burnt.

10 years of waiting,

I found them tired, bitter.
They left too much

of feathers on the way.

There is a risk that it goes wrong.

- So it's niet.

- I think Mrs Langlois is ideal.

I do not know how to tell you.

She thinks well, that's it.

She has always updated her project,
she knew how to bounce back.

His desire as a child is alive.

Instead of spoiling,
she got rich. She took advantage of

this shit fighter course
to become someone better.

She is ready, I know it.

- What do you know ? Nothing.

- Of course, we all work
with our subjectivity,

do not piss me off.

Me,

I tell you he will be lucky
to be with her this baby.

That's all.

- You were asked to come

because the family council
decided to give you a child.

It's a boy. He was born in Brest
September 26th.

- But it's ... it's amazing.

- Yes it's...

You can think, of course,
before giving your answer.

- Yes, but ... I think we can not.

- No.

I am pregnant in fact.

- Congratulations! That's wonderful !

That's wonderful.
- We wanted to be sure before saying it.

There it's been more than 3 months
and that's fine, so ...

Two little ones at once,
That would do a lot.

- Yes !

- Eh yes.
- Yeah.

Hammer blows

...

...

- Hello Mrs. Langlois.
- Hello.

- Come in.

- Mrs. Magre! I'm having a baby!

- Yes I know.
I am so happy for you.

- Thank you ! Thank you so much !

But how did you do it?
- I did not do anything !

It's your file that spoke
for you, your journey, you.

- She's not taking care of the food?
- No.

- The detergents?
- Yes, but it's very rare.

I'm okay. I do not like
that she's trailing in the kitchen.

I like that after work,
she puts herself at ease,

that she feels good,
that she area on the couch with Pauline.

My wife does not break out in her work.

When she comes home,
I want her to be happy.

- Hold on !
- What?

- Are you expressing?

- What do I express?
- To say things like that.

You think what's going on
when you say stuff like that?

I like you, you know it.
You know you can have everything about me.

My heart, my bed, everything.

You did not know ? Now you know !

Do you have to add some?
"It's good life with me."

What do I do ? I kill your wife?

- You want us to stop seeing each other,
to work together?

- Not at all ! You save my year there.

I can kill her, notice,
if that's it.

But after,

you will be sad, your daughter too.

Damn, you make me shit!

I do not have time to walk around.

And I will not always cancel
my appointments

to spend time with you!

And I also like to cook
for those I love,

so it would not work between us!

The family assistant

is at your disposal.

He will guide you on everything.

Will have to come every day.

More holes are needed
in the relationship.

- Yes. I organized myself.

I still have 2 representations to make,
but in the evening, and after that it's good.

- Tomorrow, you will meet
your child.

- Yes.

That's it.

- You will tell him yourself
the first name you chose.

- I thought and I'm annoyed:
he already has one,

it's weird to change.

- It's not weird. It's your right,
like all mothers,

to name your child.
It's even important to you.

For him. And he will do very well.

It's dark, right?

Are you stressed?

You imagine how
it will happen tomorrow.

Tomorrow, it's probably
something else will happen.

It's impossible to predict his reaction

the importance of this moment
or by receiving your emotion.

And you, you will not feel

maybe not what you thought
feel.

Maybe you will not be hit
by the grace of maternal instinct.

- Maybe I'll find him ugly.
- Yes maybe !

- Or he'll find me ugly.
- Perhaps.

We are here to support you.

Not to evaluate
if you are a good mom.

You are the mother of Theo.

- Yes.

- It's okay ?
- Very well.

Does it bother you
if I lie down on the floor?

- No problem.
Maybe it's not clean.

- It is not serious.

She blows.

It's great. I feel downright ready.

I have a little fragile stomach
right now, it's painful.

- That, the stomach!

Hello.
- It's okay ?

Oh yes, I forgot
that it was happening here. It's naze!

We can not find a place
at the height of the trick?

It's ugly.

- It's ugly but neutral.

- That's it, you'll meet your mom.

Your mother.

Do not worry.
It will be alright.

You're a great guy.

- Let's go ?
- Yes.

Hello.
- Hello.

- You can place yourself
in front of Theo.

- Theo, this is Mrs. Langlois.

Alice, your adoptive mom.

You can tell him a word.

Do not hesitate.

- (Hello.)

She coughs.

Hello.

- You do not know your mom yet,

but you will get to know each other
taking the time it will take.

- You can watch your mom,
my good man.

He chirps.

...

...

- We'll leave you a little with your mom.

...

Door

- It will be alright.

She laughs.

He chirps.

...

- (I am...)

(I...)

I am so happy to meet you.

...

...

And very moved.

I'm afraid to tell you nonsense.

...

You're great.

I like you a lot.

We will get to know each other.

- She looks good.
- Yes.

- I chose a name.

He'll be fine, I think.

Shock
He chirps.

- I decided to call you Mathieu.

...

What are you beautiful!

Laughing chirps

...

Calm music

...

- Alice, do you want to drink something?
Coffee, tea, juice?

- Yes, a tea or a juice.

I'd really like it, thank you.

- A tea or a juice?

- Yes.
Theo chirps.

I bring you both.
And I'll befriend you. Karine ?

- Same, the 2.

...

- You can take it
in your arms.

- Yes ?

...

- Great.

- Do not hesitate, it's not sugar.

He holds his neck well.
If it's not ok, he'll let you know.

There he looks good.
- Nickel.

...

- You'll give him the bottle,
Okay ?

...

- More against your side.

...

- Layer it squarely.

He will be better.

...

Exactly.

- It's good in your eyes.

...

- Great.

...

- We'll let you know
goodbye to your baby?

- I did as you told me.
Can I leave him?

- Absolutely. Perfect.

He chirps.

...

...
- I brought you a blanket.

...

Here.

...

* - Hello. My name is Alice.

* I'm going to accompany you
along this representation.

* And I'll be delighted

* to accompany you ...

* to be there with you,
in the end, to exchange.

* Good show.

Rolling bottle

- That's not good, ma'am.

- (Shit).

- The maid and the cook
went to strawberries.

* - Dear ... Dear blind ...

* A technical problem

* who will be "resolved" in ...

* As soon as ... Soon!

- You stay shut up like a nun.

Sizzling powerful

* - Forgiveness .

* sorry. Anything!

- One year you stay here.

- (So...)

- He is in the grave, me between
these four walls, we both died.

- (It's not true.)

- I do not listen anymore.

- (You do not have a lamp)

(frontal?)

- (Yes.)

- (You ready me?)
- (I need it.)

(Request at the reception.)

* - Well, we'll do as we can.
Elena Ivanovna ... Papova

* is in his canopy bed.

* She gets up, she goes down the curtains

* and rolls it on itself, the bed.

Sigh

* Full of light.

* A very nice actor ...

* Charismatic ... He breaks the door.
It's Grigory

* Stepanovich Smirnov.

* He's wearing a big fur coat ...

* Big and a hat.

- Grigory Stepanovich Smirnov.
There are several brands of pistols.

You press

on this little thing ...

Laughs

- Like this ?
- Yes.

Then you aim.

* - He caresses her

* the neck.
- Head back slightly.

* - She appreciates a lot.

- The arms tight.

And your hand does not tremble.

Shoot

* - She is shooting in the air,
a chicken falls from the sky.

Laughs

* Oh no, no.

- Get away.

* - They kiss each other.

* And they are hugging each other very hard.

* It's a long kiss.
Beautiful. Very sensual.

* Very very carnal.
It's really great.

* That's fine.

- It's not too hot?
- Its good.

Here. Dad, often,

he sprinkles it like a roast.

- So he likes that? Do you like bathing?

You like this.
- Things are going well ?

- It's okay !
- Yes.

- Things are going well.

(Wait, I was wrong.)

He chirps.

- What is this mess ?

There are everywhere.

You do not know how to give a bath?

Sorry but it will not do it.
Impossible.

I laugh.

I'm kidding!
That's it, it's clean,

he is not drowned,
he looks happy, it's nickel.

Hey, it's nickel!

Hey no, but hey! Alice! No !

It was a joke.
Sorry, it was not funny, but ...

I am the king of the idiots. Look at me.

No one will take that kid away from you.

Except the DASS ... No, I'm kidding.

What are you doing ? You stay ?

- No, I'll go there.

- Stay a bit.

- In your opinion,
when can he leave?

- After tomorrow.

He looks for me almost no more.
It's going fast here.

- It's the end, what?

- It's not Asian.
- How was it tonight?

- What did you think,
inside ?

- Weird. It was soft
I found myself shitting.

- Oh no, I do not think so.

- We've seen each other. Do you bust here?

- Not specifically,
I work in a lot of theaters.

I am audio-descriptive.

- Yes, for the deaf!

- No, for the blind.

- Yes, of course.

We're going to dinner, are you coming?

- Oh, I would have liked
but tonight I can not, no.

- OKAY.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- But can I call you?

- Yes.

- In about 6 months?

- Okay.

- Great !
- Great.

Hubbub

...

- I feel like I'm taking it.
- No.

I do not want it.

I kept it warm for you,
I am paid for that.

- How do you say thank you again?

- Like that, it's very good.

- Thank you.

...

- It will be necessary to create your bubble
with your child.

You have to give him time
to take root with you

in an attachment link.

For a few weeks,
some months,

stay with the family.
The parents, the brothers ...

Do not listen to your sisters
who tells you how to do it.

Do what you feel,
what you want to do,

what you feel you can do

Give the most eyes,
give everything you can.

Give all the food,
your smell, your voice,

your skin.

Everything to create this bond of attachment.
You will not make a baby capricious.

At 3 months, at 6 months,
a baby is not capricious.

- It's okay ?

- (Yeah.)

It's not a childbirth,
it's a transplant.

You did not wear it,
this child

but what are you going to do with him?

is extraordinary.

Few people are able to live it.

- I can not call you,

I do not have the right, actually.

The little one, I will not see him
before long but ...

If you want to give me news,

you do not have to, but you can.
- Count on me.

- (Go on)
