From September 2012 to May 2013, all of France gets passionate about proposed legislation to permit marriage for all.
Over nine months, Sociologist Irène Théry recounts to her filmmaker son her views on this divisive debate. From recordings of these exchanges, the directors create “teddy bear cinema” constructed of children’s toys and pieces of cardboard.
An intimate, often amusing and unique portrait of a national saga, The sociologist and the bear cub helps us rediscover what we all thought we knew perfectly well: the Family.
