Turkey-France-Romania 2016 104 Color
A childless middle-class couple prepares a photo album of a fake pregnancy period – at the beach, at work, lounging at home. This way, their adopted child will eventually be able to recognize them as its loving biological parents. And of course, they’ll have real documentation to share with friends and co-workers. The proud couple goes all the way with the family history facade by staging snapshots in the hospital with their adopted baby boy. The earnest couple’s next step is to start a new life with their new baby. But the couple panics when they discover that the adoption has been registered in police records, only one step away from public knowledge.
