Elodie and Antoine are in love and want to start a family, but it turns out that Elodie is infertile. They don’t give up, though. Wanting a child of their own, the couple decide to become parents by means of a surrogate mother. But with surrogacy illegal in France, they go to California. After three years of waiting, hard effort and might-have-beens, Mary, the American surrogate mother gives birth to beautiful twins, Isa and Léa. Elodie and Antoine are parents at last. And according to American and international law, they are the father and mother of their daughters.
