Overview

Théo is given up for adoption by his biological mother on the very day he is born. After this anonymous birth, the mother has two months to change her mind… Or not. The child welfare services and adoption service spring into action… The former have to take care of the baby and support it during this limbo-like time, this period of uncertainty, while the latter must find a woman to become his adoptive mother. She is called Alice, and she has spent the last ten years fighting to have a child.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quiet, emotionally precise drama about the aching gap between desire and belonging, told through the intertwined stories of a newborn in legal limbo and the woman who's been waiting a decade to become his mother. It's a film about hope held loosely in open hands.
