Their names are Anne-Charlotte, Joohee, Céline, Niyongira and Mathieu. They are aged between 25 and 52 and come from Brazil, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, South Korea and Australia. These five people share one identity: that of adoptees. Separated from their families and countries of origin as children, they grew up in French families. Their life stories and archive footage take us into an intimate and political history of international adoption.
