Sons and daughters of a gay father or a lesbian mother: a series of tight frontal portraits, halfway between an intimate approach and an identity picture. A plurality of profiles who, through their words, question their place within a family and among siblings. Thirty testimonies, thirty views of the family.
“When I think of my family I see my father and Patrick, I see my mother and Olivier, I see my sister. And Arthur, Olivier's son. The people I live with. Family is people who will never let you go.”
“These people, frozen like this, what are they waiting for? We almost have the impression that the answer should not come from them, but from us; that they are waiting for us to create a story for them, a past, a future. Zabou Carrière's images impose nothing. That is why they are precious: they allow us to see, simply and without effect.” — Olivier Roller
