Synopsis

Charting the history of lesbian parenting in her native Belgium, director Champeaux is on a quest to understand whether she herself could have a family with a female partner. The film interweaves archive footage of the early struggles, debates and protests that helped create the laws safeguarding same sex parenting with heartfelt and often joyous testimony from the now-adult children of those early lesbian pioneers. Champeaux's film is a fresh perspective on an important issue for the queer community and, ultimately, a celebration of family in all its variations.

No upcoming screenings.
