Between September 2012 and May 2013, France is debating the upcoming marriage equality laws.

It is a documentary about the social debate in France, but also about family and intimacy.

Plot

From September 2012 to May 2013, France avidly instigates the bill of marriage equality. During these nine months of legislative gestation, sociologist Irène Théry exposes what's at stake to her son. What comes out of it is a cinematic tale of teddy bears, toys, and cardboard shreds. An intimate portrait and national soap opera, this movie makes us revisit something we all thought we knew perfectly: family.
