Nadia is blissfully happy: she has married the love of her life and is pregnant. For her wife Celine, the madness that is the adoption process begins. 15 friends and relatives have to testify that they trust her to be a loving parent. In order to win over her self-centred mother as a witness, Celine has to muster up her courage. Questions arise that fuel Celine’s doubts: Will she love the child as much as Nadia? Can she care enough for the baby despite her job as a DJ? A light, humorous film that is not afraid to address serious issues and takes a loving look at the adventure known as family. It premiered in Cannes in 2025. Note: Film contains images of strobe lighting.
