Father's Birth

While the battle for same-sex marriage rages on in France, this sweetly touching documentary serves to highlight another obstacle for French gay couples - surrogacy is illegal in their country. Jérôme and François, who have been together for over 13 years, have always wanted a child. But with adoption proving almost impossible, they discover a solution thousands of miles away - in Wisconsin, USA. There, they meet Colleen, a farmer, her husband and three children. Thus begins a long-distance relationship between two distinctly different households that spans across the Atlantic.
