For several decades, filmmaker Catherine Corsini has been filming different worlds, yet all of them are permeated by the same desire for her characters to truly come into their own. With a vitality that is ready for anything, including cheating before finally giving up, the heroes of Corsini's films take every risk, and Corsini understands them.

A journey into contemporary French cinema through a series of exclusive interviews with the leading figures of GLBT French cinematography: André Téchiné, Catherine Corsini, Gaël Morel, Olivier Ducastel, Jacques Martineau and other old acquaintances of our film festival. This documentary offers an interesting insight into the official and non-official cinema from the point of view of gender identity. A look behind the scenes: discussing issues like censorship and self-censorship, women' cinema and misogyny, transvestism and homo-eroticism, cinema d'auteur and popular cinema (was the Nouvelle Vague homophobic?). From past to present, from Jacques Demy to François Ozon.
