Crease of paper.

Not bad is not it?

It's my project that has been selected.

The idea is to bring the two together.

We are going to demolish slaughterhouses.

- I am surprised by the delay. - Why?

You went to school, you know where you are going,

but do not plant yourself.

This is your first job.

It's not just well-meaning people,

especially as you begin.

Be careful.

Regarding your privacy... remain discreet.

Do not give the stick to beat you.

We always come back to that.

My son is queer. What will people say?

You're amazing.

I have no advice to give you, I'm from another era.

But be careful, it's still a macho environment.

Guys are not comfortable with that. I realized.

Good...

I said that to try to help you.

Short.

Congratulations.

Your mother will be proud.

- You go? - Yes.

How are you, little girl?

"It's up to now."

But here she will start to feel hungry.

Good luck. Goodbye.

"Goodbye, Charles."

She pushes.

You have a little problem here.

We will change the layer.

Huh?

- Oh there... - Aouch aouch.

Oh well, oh well.

Tears.

- It's because she sees you. - She would like to be in my arms.

I have to return it. It's you who makes that effect to him.

Doorbell Come see.

Viewing. Everything is fine.

Everything is fine, huh?

He's opening the door.

- Aurélie. - Hello.

- Already? - Eh yes.

- It was? - Very good.

Oh, I hear it, my baby...

Hello you.

Hello. How are you, my dear?

It's okay?

- Did not you have your party taken? - Yes.

But here I am.

- Here I am. - Another big con?

No, a pretty cool guy.

We had a drink.

I told him that I had a 6-month-old baby,

and there, pfff.

She laughs.

- He left like this? - No, we fucked, anyway.

- That's it. - Look.

You come, darling?

Oh... come here.

Runoff of water.

I take my medication.

* Languorous jazz.

- You come out? - Yeah.

But I do not come back late.

So, see you soon.

You love Me?

Yes.

Door slam

* Music in the background, hubbub of conversations.

Excuse me.

You would have fire?

Thank you.

How is it? Good. There is a crowd.

How long have you been there?

"Two, three hours already."

- What are you doing after? - I dunno.

I have nothing planned. And you?

I do not know, I will see.

Who makes the music? DJ Corinne. You know?

- I've never seen you here. - And yet.

Ironical sigh.

- What are you doing tonight? - That's it.

He laughs softly.

Hold on. Put on a hood.

- I'm clean. - How do I know?

And who tells you that I am clean?

- Relax. - No...

Wait, wait.

He sighs deeply.

Construction trouble.

Excuse me.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I'm looking for Mr. Sousa. - He's not here, he's sick.

Someone replaces him?

- It's him, the chef, there. - Thank you.

Excuse me. You are the foreman?

It's me, yes. Selim.

Selim! I did not expect to fall on you.

I saw your name on the plans.

- Can you come with me? - Yes.

It's weird, is not it?

To meet after all this time.

I wanted it for a long time.

The way I reacted at the time.

We were young.

- You were in confusion. - No.

I knew very well that I was attracted to the guys.

It was impossible to assume that in front of my family.

That's it, I made a choice.

Have you ever regretted?

Not me. I want to say...

To give up what you are.

A choice is a choice.

Here, look.

Lyes and Leila, the youngest. She is beautiful?

Yes. They are great, both of them.

Yes.

I tell you the truth. When I see them,

I regret nothing.

They make me so happy.

And you?

Do you have someone?

Yes. Yes, I have someone.

The same since 18 years.

Something better.

All the better.

* Rap escaping from the helmet.

Hello.

Who is it? He was here this morning.

Her father has kicked her out, I think.

- I'm taking care of it. - Yes.

Did you get assaulted in the street? It's in your family?

It's your father? Your brother?

You must know that here you are safe.

It's good, good words with two bullets.

My father beat me. So what? What do you hope?

I do not need to be comforted by an old pedal like you.

That is to say?

You play it to believe that you save lives

behind your desk.

I do not care about your ready-made sentences.

You are here for what?

You did not come by chance, you wanted something specific.

I need a place to pile a few days.

But if I have to go to the psychiatrist, I'm stuck.

Do not worry.

We'll find you a place.

Baby tweets.

You have the fiber.

Do not you want to?

Why? Do you propose yourself?

Me? No.

Sigh amused.

After all why not?

It's tempting, if he's handsome like his father

and intelligent like his mother. Even the opposite.

Reflect, then.

Let's do it.

Hum... I do not know.

I do not know what Serge think about it.

I risk to fuck the boxing in your relationship.

Serge is easy going.

- Yes, but not you. - What do you think?

Burp.

Here. She answered you.

To laugh.

Yes. I agree with you.

You want it or not, Emma?

Hey, Emma?

We want a little baby at home.

Hoarse breathing of the baby.

I think we're going to go see Mom.

Vien, my chick.

Yeah, he's here. Are you coming to my house?

I disagree. The Pacs is not like a wedding.

It's a half measure.

It's better than nothing.

I do not understand. The company recognizes you.

We are not there yet.

We can say that she can no longer hide.

Even myself, I have evolved.

What do you want more? Nothing.

We want the same thing as the others.

Let's stop treating us differently.

I thought you were claiming

a right to the difference. Yes, but that does not justify

that we do not have the same rights.

Do not you understand what? Serge and I, we are a couple.

We love each other like straight guys.

If we do not have the same rights, people will continue to think

that we are unable to train

- a family. - A family?

- Charles, we will not do it again. - I'm probably an old fool,

but I can not understand.

I'm sorry, a couple, it's not a family.

A couple of men, women,

it's their choice, their life, it's theirs.

But a family means children we want

- and raise. - Charles!

I married your mother, we wanted you, we got you.

We started a family.

You made a different choice.

I had a hard time admitting it at the beginning

because you will not be able to start a family, precisely.

So...

Today, I still suffer a little

and I'm not sure you wlll not suffer one day.

It's not against you. You understand?

Serge.

It's not against you or against Victor.

You do not say anything.

We will not change your father.

I think about it very seriously.

Do you think about it very seriously?

Do you want to adopt a child to contradict your father?

It's excessive, right? It has nothing to do with my father.

I've been thinking about it for a while. We have already talked about it.

And I'm not thinking of adoption, but a child of us.

Did you have sex education classes?

I learned about surrogates.

- It's illegal. - In France.

But not elsewhere.

I'm not sure I agree.

Pay a woman, rent her belly.

You tell me about our child.

He would be yours. It's not a problem...

We will give each our sperm.

We will not know who the father is. You are right.

If he likes to draw houses, it will be yours.

If he is seropo at birth, it will be mine.

I do not want to be creaky with that, but...

You manage to forget my illness. Me, I can not do it.

That's why I block.

I can not live with the idea that I will not see it grow.

The surrogate mother, for me, is excluded.

You, if you want, do it.

No.

Not without you.

- Why? - It's no.

I want a child with you.

But for how long with me?

Stop, you're not going to die.

"Ah yes?"

It's always better to believe in life.

I too would have wanted this child with you.

Really.

So, say yes.

You thought, both?

We talked a lot about it.

Officially, only one of them will adopt.

An unmarried couple, a fortlorl homosexual,

can not adopt together.

Who Will it be?

Let's see...

Fifty-year-old seropo working in a gay assoce

or a young and brilliant architect?

Will it be Victor, is it?

It's just for the administration.

To get approval, we must not know that you're gay.

Legally, nothing prohibits a homo from adopting.

But their demands are systematically rejected.

It's discriminating but not confessed.

You will be considered hetero and single.

At least I will not have to play that.

If I reassure you, I can adopt?

Not quite. There is an investigation

and a report to a commission

who will decide to grant you approval or not.

If you get it, you're on a waiting list.

It can take a few months or years.

In terms of lifestyle, maybe.

The consciences are not yet very evolved...

Basile.

You came back.

This is not for you. I came to take a shower.

- It's possible? - Of course.

- It's your keum? - It's my keum, yes.

He is more beautiful and younger than you.

In addition, he is an architect and fart of thune.

Not bad for an old pedal like me.

- It's anything. - Why?

Because.

And it's not homophobia.

- Yes. - No.

Two men can not raise a child.

Did you study child psychiatrist?

No, I did not study. Lam a simple man,

who thinks a child needs a mother for her balance.

- Not true? - A child needs love.

It's better gay parents who bring you love

or straight parents indifferent to you?

Have you thought about all he's going to suffer?

People's eyes on him. People's eyes,

we do not care.

We do not live according to people's eyes.

No. But when we ask him why he has two dads,

you think it will be simple for him?

We will be with him.

Me too, I had to defend myself against the eyes of people, alone.

Think what you want. That I am homophobic, limited

and no one as father.

If you do that without worrying about your child's life,

it's that you think of yourself first. It's selfish.

It's as if we are separating.

On the contrary, we build something.

Leave, I'm almost done.

It's in two boxes, a suitcase.

You have never been a materialist.

After the investigator's visit tomorrow, we put everything back in its place.

Tell me about yourself.

Why do you want to adopt? I'm coming to an age

where the desire to be a father becomes strong.

I have always had this desire. Deep down, I mean.

But like many people, I preferred my job.

Why not do it in the usual way?

I have not met the right person yet.

I met young women with whom

we did not want to do it at the same time.

Either it was them, or it was me.

Then the stories ended before.

It's very commonplace,

it's the story of a lot of people.

With the passage of time,

I do not want to wait anymore.

How do you conceive of this role that you will play alone?

At least for the moment.

I see him as a stable, solid person,

who doubts that to educate is not always obvious.

To be able to pay attention to the evolution of a child

by letting him be himself,

I talk a lot about it with friends who are parents.

Men and women.

One of them is an ex-companion.

This is a project that was mentioned,

but it did not happen.

I talk about it with my parents.

With my mother, of course, who would be delighted

to have a grandson or granddaughter.

And your father?

With my father, it's more complicated.

He does not express much,

he has trouble exchanging.

We are not always in phase.

Could your mother be available if you have to help?

It changes the schedule, a child.

Your parties will be taken.

It's true that I work a lot,

but I work a lot at home.

I can lead both things head-on.

An adopted child sometimes has trouble sleeping.

It can de-rhythm you, you tired.

Yes I think. Of course.

But I am not alone. I have my mother's support.

And I do not go out at night. Bars are not my thing.

She writes.

It's a measured choice.

I feel ready.

It's okay?

Yes I'm fine.

It does not look.

I am not in the mood.

It made me the balls, this comedy.

Come here.

It's good. We are in time.

- Yes. - And the other slab?

- She is sunk. - Oh?

- You want to see? - Yes.

What are you doing?

Clinking of keys.

Not.

It's going to have to go.

It's risky to go out today.

Because of the fags in the streets?

There are plenty of cameras, photographers.

This is not the time to go to Gay Pride, with the investigation.

You're probably the most horny guy who will scroll,

but I do not think we'll see you in the crowd.

Just avoid interviews.

No. I will not take any chances.

You think your investigator is going to watch Gay Pride on TV?

I dunno. But it is better to avoid.

You're right. No unnecessary risks.

Today everyone is fighting.

I'm going to walk for the Pacs and you, you'll make yourself invisible

to get your adoption.

Our adoption.

Good walk.

Yeah.

* -The boat is a galley, where we row.

It represents the time it took to have the Pacs

and also,

for some homosexuals, the difficulty to assume.

* -A 14h, the parade will leave the Odeon...

Phone ring.

The morale is good,

at 4 days of the vote of the law for the Pacs.

All6?

Hi, Selim.

Home.

I had to go, but I prefer not to show myself at Gay Pride.

Because of the adoption.

There is an inquiry. Hmm.

So, what did you want to tell me?

It's about yesterday, on the building site.

We should not have.

We are no longer teenagers and we work together.

Do not worry, it will happen again.

You think?

Bah...

I dunno.

Mocking laughter.

Since all this time, you've never...

Yes. Of course yes.

It happens to me sometimes.

And you?

You already deceived him, your guy?

I'm not cheating on him

I mean, I'm not lying.

The least possible.

We have an open relationship, in trust.

Like many fags.

No it's not that.

Since he's in triple therapy, it's complicated.

Even before that.

But it remains strong between us.

He leaves me free when I need it.

You love it?

Yes.

* Techno

* -More than 100,000 people come to party

and also claim to be the Pacs generation.

The one who fights for freedom... Phone.

All6?

* -... a law sanctioning discrimination...

Good thanks. And you?

He cuts the sound.

Yes. That is to say?

I can ask them.

I thought you had enough information.

(The social investigator.)

Okay.

I'm going to call them

and I will see with them.

You would like to do that when?

Okay.

What is happening?

Cracking rain.

And if not, for your adoption?

Exactly, I wanted to talk to you about it.

I have something to ask you.

We are followed by an investigator. Your mother explained to me.

She wants to meet you,

ask you questions.

That you tell him about me, about my childhood.

This kind of things. And Serge?

No, you know it well.

For her, I am straight and single.

I'm asking you to tell him that.

What are you straight and single?

- You can do it? - Do you want me to lie to him?

You know, however, that I think it's harmful for this child

to grow up between two men.

When one believes in one's Ideas, one must assume them.

I agree. But here, I am not allowed.

I did not invent the rules.

I do not have the choice. Do you want this kid?

Yes.

I thought about what you told me. It's not selfishness.

We want to give this child a chance, a place,

that he does not have for now.

If morons think his parents are abnormal,

we will tell him how to do with the eyes of others.

- You know what I think. - It will not be perfect.

There will be questions at school,

but we will be there to help and love him.

We will do everything to make it flourish

and do not be afraid of the eyes of others.

Otherwise, it will mean that we will have planted ourselves.

So?

Are you going to help us?

Yes.

Cheerful screams of children.

He's never late, usually.

I have the time.

- Can I ask you a question? - Yes.

You really think we can determine

if people will make good parents

listening to anecdotes about their childhood?

Looking in their closet?

It's not to depreciate your work,

but it seems more complicated than that.

You are right. Every detail matters

and can help make the best decision.

Door that opens.

Hello. Sorry, I have not seen the time pass.

We talked with your wife.

We'll begin.

I would like to talk to your husband alone.

Were you surprised when Victor announced you

that he wanted to adopt a single child?

A little, but not that much.

Martine must have told you, he always wanted to be a father.

Do you agree with that decision?

He does not need my permission.

We do not always agree on everything,

but I know that he has thought about it.

To be very clear, what I ask you is:

Were you not surprised, you, his father,

that a man of Victor's age

considering adoption alone, so young?

He would have no trouble finding a woman

to have children, right? It's up to him to ask.

I did it, he stayed pretty vague.

Besides, he has hardly talked about his love life.

His work, yes. His desire for paternity.

His childhood, his parents.

An ex-girlfriend whom he spoke almost with embarrassment.

As if he wanted to talk about everything except his private life.

Exactly, it's his private life. Not mine, not yours.

I'm trying to understand who Victor is.

So, who is my son?

In your opinion?

I am not your enemy,

but I think you do not tell me everything.

Tell me what you want me to tell you.

Your son is he homosexual?

Not to my knowledge.

Even if it were, what would it have to do?

I need to know the proposed living environment.

The law does not prohibit homosexuals from adopting.

I have already examined several cases.

I evaluate a person's ability to be a parent.

So why worry about whether Victor is gay?

Unless you think it will make him less loving with this child.

You do not understand.

If I understand very well.

You are here to evaluate if Victor will make a good father

and I tell you yes.

The rest, his love life, it's up to him.

"I do not doubt that Victor would make a good father."

I'm just surprised that he never talks about a mother.

There are separated fathers and mothers

who raise their children alone.

We admit it, that.

* -We will not be long in cutting. OK. See you soon.

Someone knocked. Yes?

What are you doing here?

What a warm welcome.

Excuse me.

I was not expecting this...

- Everything is fine? - Yes.

Except the answer for adoption that does not happen.

- You think about that. - It's stronger than me.

I should be distressed and patient.

- You ate? - No.

I invite you.

Victor.

You go away?

I'm going to eat lunch.

Serge. Selim, my foreman.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

- There is a problem? - No.

Nothing urgent.

- See you later. - OK.

Oh, guys!

He whistles.

Let's go?

The clock is ticking.

It is open.

You do not even have an hour?

I can not, Victor.

You can do what you want. Not me.

- I have... - What do you have?

- A family? - Yes, a family.

And I care.

To you too, I wish. To them, more than anything.

It's not easy.

You knew everything about me when we saw each other again.

I did not hide anything.

Everything was clear, no?

All was clear.

We can see each other. It hurts no one.

But I have two children I love and a woman.

We need to set rules,

to be careful and to be careful.

I understand.

I can not blame you. I want everything at the same time.

Love, sex, a family.

A guy that I like.

Another that I like too...

and who has his life.

Turn signal

I'm asking you nothing.

Do not worry, it will not change anything at work.

Come eat, let me introduce them.

- Do you work with my father? - Yes. We were already working

together in high school. I was not born?

I did not know Mom yet.

- Do you have children? - Not yet.

But it will come. You prefer a boy

or a girl?

I dunno. We will see what the stork will bring me.

It's not the storks that bring the children.

Ah good?

But who is it then?

The moms who wear them in their belly.

Bravo!

She is strong, my daughter.

Door that opens

slam.

I did not open it.

R's no'?

"Absence of referent of the opposite sex".

Show.

We will not stop there.

I will ask for a copy of the file.

They are not finished with me.

- Your name? - Bregnant.

B-R-E-G-U-A-N-T.

- Victor? - Yes.

OK.

He unfolds the letter.

"By the confession of the candidate's father,"

he lives in concubinage.

His statements confirm the presence of a cohabiting partner.

The candidate lied to the administration,

"which indicates an irresponsible attitude."

How could you do that? She knew.

She was just looking for

a confirmation. That you hastened to give him.

The only thing I ask you to do for me,

the only thing in 20 years, you miss.

- I wanted it to work. - No. You never wanted it.

And you know what?

You won,

beyond your expectations.

It did not work.

From now on, mom,

if you want to see me, it will be at home.

I will put more feet here. Never again, you hear me.

Never again will I call you daddy.

From now on, one speaks the speech the least possible.

And if we returned to the solution of surrogates?

I dunno.

Maybe we could...

We know couples of girls who want children.

We could talk to them about it.

It's a little change the project, but...

It will surely be difficult at first. No, we will not do that.

- Why? What's the difference? - I do not want anymore.

In fact, it relieves me that we did not have the approval.

I never wanted to be a father, like you.

You know why.

You can live for decades.

The doctors say it. Or a few weeks. We do not know.

We need more than we hide the truth.

It was your project, not mine.

I did not take part,

because I'm more part of your life, Victor.

It's been a while, already.

What are you talking about? I spoke about this project to two.

With you. You told me yes.

Why did you say yes?

Just to please me?

I do not understand. Explain to me.

Why did you let me fight with all this shit?

Visits, interviews, the interviewer...

Why did we do all this?

And if we had the approval? I was wrong.

But let's stop pretending.

We are no longer a couple.

You know I'm right.

You stay with me by fidelity to a story that is over.

- You delusions. I love you, shit! - Me too.

You want a child

and I do not want to be the one who will stop you from having it.

I want you to be a father.

But I do not want to leave a widower and an orphan.

I do not want to be bound by my illness,

nor decline before you and this child.

*Opera

* -The Civil Solidarity Pact has been voted

to the Assembly.

Cheers.

Yeah!

So what...

You put yourself in your corner to be interested in you?

If it's not a desperate act... You fell in the panel.

That's it, in your dreams.

How's your parents doing?

Better.

Finally, we talk to each other, what?

I went to eat at home, especially for my mother.

And your father?

It would not bother him to come home.

- And you? - Me? You're whew.

Rather die. And I met a guy.

He lets me squat at home against some pipes.

He is 60 years old. But in the dark, it passes.

I'm kidding, mom.

Calm down, fucking.

It's a joke. He is my age.

Your mother's head hen in panic...

But I do not have the instinct of daron.

Do not do it. Say "parent".

And you? What are you doing now that you are old and alone?

Good summary.

Bell.

Farah?

Hello Hello.

Come on, come in.

It is a surprise.

- Go ahead, please. - Thank you.

What is going on?

Can I help you? I can help you.

This is the number of a member of the General Council.

A friend. I worked for his campaign.

She can help you. Help me what?

Selim told me for your adoption application.

She may be able to reassess your file.

Thank you, Farah.

Thank you really.

Why are you doing this?

Because Selim asked me.

And I also have a favor to ask you.

Which?

We must never see Selim again.

Not at all.

Why? I do not understand.

Yes, Victor, you understand very well.

We agree?

Thank you.

I wish happiness for you in the future.

Truly.

Good bye.

Light street hubbub.

It starts.

(Diego).

(Do you kick in?)

(Tchouk-)

(Go on, yeah. You're almost there.)

(Yeah-)

(Again)

(He is for you.)

(Go ahead.)

It's good.

It's good.

You will be a professional footballer.

(Go ahead, please.)

(Tchouk-)
