Next to Rennes men's prison, as next to almost all the prisons in France, there a Family Support Centre for the prisoners' families. Visitors go there before and after a visit. They come back, every week, sometimes three times a week. They wait. It is a space of its own. Visiting is time consuming. They always arrive early. If they are a few seconds late, the door of the prison will remain closed. So they wait, to be sure to be on time, to be let in. The prison rules infringe upon this place, a passage between the outside and the inside, where all feelings are amplified: frustration, anger, hope, desire, fear, passion... To have the strength to go there, you must be so deeply rooted in life that you can breathe life into this inflated waiting time.This film is about life in that place. It is also an echo of what prison is made of. By choosing to remain exclusively «next door», the film paradoxically offers a direct approach of what the carceral reality is.
It is dinnertime with much noise and fun. An unusual family is sitting around the table. Louise's relatives: her father, her two mothers, her stepmother, her brothers and sisters. Françoise and Gérard have been in love for 44 years. They have three children. Sybille and Sylviane have been in love for 23 years. They wanted to have a child so they asked their friend Françoise to "lend" them Gérard, her husband. And she said ok.
To film director Didier Ruiz at work with seven trans people is to set foot in a collective adventure from which no one comes out unscathed. We are thus witnessing, as the rehearsals progress, an outbreak. Filming the emergence of this word is a gift. A journey full of surprises where questions about the feminine, the masculine, the norm, freedom, archetypes, transgression, sexuality assail us and overturn all our certainties.
