After several, unsuccessful rounds of meeting with other queer couples looking to adopt or have children, Emmanuel contacts Fina, inviting her to dinner.
She believes it to be a date until he admits to her that he is gay and asks her to have his child in exchange for a fake marriage which will guarantee that she can stay in France legally.
Months later, Emmanuel and Phillippe are meeting with other queer couples to restart the process of getting a child of their own when they get a call from Fina.
Cathy decides to get started with the process of adoption and opens up to the social worker, stating that she never had the chance to think about having children since she's been single for a while.
Isabelle Regnier from Le Monde, while praising the believable and sympathetic portrayal of a gay couple and the comprehensive depiction of social issues such as surrogacy and gay adoption, found the film "average" and noted that it resembles more a standard American romantic comedy than a French film.
[1] Jordan Mintzer from Variety Wrote "Uppity perf by Wilson adds plenty of sugar to the brew, and it’s contrasted nicely by Elbe’s commanding stoicism as the main character’s boyfriend.
Spanish thesp Lopez De Ayala’s convincing turn as an immigrant caught among friendly but domineering interests is another plus"[2] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Although the photography of Paris is fairly stock, the film is well-paced.
Everyone pretty much gets what he or she wants by the end of the story, and while the triumphs are too easily earned, the actors and characters are so engaging that we don’t begrudge them their bliss"[3] Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars.
