These days, it's fine with everyone if two women have a baby... Or is it? As they shake up their family and social environment, Salomé and Marion embark on a path that is as tender as it is wacky, putting their deep desire for children and their love to the test. Set against France's same-sex marriage laws of 2013, POLICHINELLES depicts Salomé and Marion's emotional and societal challenges in starting a family. Marion, ready for motherhood, contrasts with Salomé, who struggles with her sexual orientation and doubts about parenting. Their choice of home insemination adds humor but also potential conflicts, especially with the biological father. POLICHINELLES goes beyond a personal narrative, addressing broader societal themes. The couple faces pressures from characters like André, Marion’s father, and Salomé’s traditional parents. The series, acclaimed for its portrayal of homoparental issues, blends humor with the realities of non-traditional family dynamics. It stands out for its fresh perspective and resonates beyond the LGBTQ+ community, delving into themes of love, family, and societal acceptance. The series ends on a note of anticipation, hinting at future seasons exploring more aspects of same-sex parenting. POLICHINELLES is a testament to evolving family dynamics and the universal quest for parenthood.
