Men and women, born in the interwar period. They have nothing in common but their homosexuality, and their decision to live openly at a time when society rejected them. They’ve loved, struggled, desired. Now they document their pioneering lives, and how they navigated the desire to remain ordinary.
Guided by a buoyant joie de vivre, this documentary traces the adversity of homophobia faced by 12 amiable subjects. With great energy and insight, the film charts through conversation France’s sexual liberation: the battles won thus far, and the many rights which remain to be fought for.
