Original: Fiertés
"Fiertés" retraces the fight for the rights of sexual minorities in France through the intimate story of three generations and three destinies of men.
In 1981, it was still illegal to be gay in France. PROUD tells the story of three generations of the same family who represent the seismic social changes that took place in just three decades.
September 1998. Victor wants to start a family. Victor makes a request for adoption in his name, claiming to be heterosexual and single to give him and Serge more chance. A social worker visits their home to check that Victor is a good candidate for adoption, while Serge keeps out of the way. But the pretense proves difficult.
2013. The ultimate show-down between Charles, Victor and Diego takes place at Charles’s place. Finally, the three generations sit down to talk and try to understand each another. A few days later, the law on same-sex marriage is passed.
