Baby Love (Comme les autres)

After smashing box office records in France, Baby Love (Comme les autres) crosses the ocean to delight Toronto audiences. This first fiction feature by documentary filmmaker Vincent Garenq is a comedy of manners that doesn´t shy away from hard-hitting drama. Manu (Lambert Wilson), a pediatrician in his forties, and Philippe (Pascal Elbé), a lawyer, are a picture-perfect couple except for one tiny detail: Emmanuel desperately wants a child but Philippe is against it. Manu tries to adopt behind Philippe´s back but the scheme backfires when social services discover that he´s not heterosexual. Enter Fina (Pila Löpez de Ayala), a South American beauty in whose face Emmanuel can see the child he so desperately wants. She agrees to be his baby´s surrogate mother in exchange for a marriage of convenience but, of course, such arrangements are rarely simple.

A lively and stirring portrait of one man´s relentless quest to become a dad against all odds, this smash hit romantic comedy-drama is a moving exploration of today´s France where gay adoptions remain illegal while same-sex unions are readily sanctioned. Featuring a stellar cast that includes a radiant Lambert Wilson, this is a crowd-pleaser from start to finish.
