Storyline
| Plot Summary |
As they are gay, Thomas and Stéphane cannot have children. But they love each other and their happiness would be perfect only if they could raise a little one. After failing to adopt a child in Martinique, they decide to hire a surrogate mother. Carole, a very pretty woman, agrees to bear their baby but only through "natural reproductive methods". Which of the two men will sacrifice himself? Will Carole actually give birth to a baby? Heaven knows, ladies and gentlemen...! Written by Guy Bellinger |
