Céline is about to become a mother, but it’s her wife Nadia who is pregnant. In Love Letters, Alice Douard follows this non-gestational mother as she searches for her place under the gaze of friends, family, and the law, questioning what makes someone a “real” parent.
After premiering earlier this year at Cannes in Critics’ Week, the film is now reaching new audiences, with releases in Belgium on November 19 and Switzerland on November 27.
In our interview, Alice Douard talks about queer parenthood, the fragile feeling of legitimacy, and how love can be both a protection and a battleground.
