Nicolas, who must somehow come to terms with his sister's death, decides to become Bruno's co-parent in raising Jérémy, Isabelle's child.
Although Nicolas is gay, Bruno isn't. But they form a relationship that tests the boundaries of friendship and love. Surrounded by their families, friends and Jérémy, together they must face the opinions of others and man's stupidity.

Nicolas, private secretary to a right-wing minister, becomes more and more committed to the fight against the hypocrisy surrounding AIDS. Thanks to tritherapy which gives him some hope, Bruno learns to live again and starts making plans for the future…
