Same Sex Parents

Like high school isn´t hard enough....

How does an insecure teenager become more self-assertive? That´s the challenge for Olympia, a young girl stigmatized for being different.

Same Sex Parents begins with Olympia and her classmate Leo enjoying their first romantic encounter at a weekend dance. At school the following Monday, Geraldine, a jealous rival, publicly outs Olympia´s mother. Olympia is shocked, as her mother, Martine, has never actually admitted being a lesbian. Olympia confronts her mother with questions about Olympia´s father, who is now openly gay, but Martine is dismissive; in her world it´s never quite the right time to speak about such matters with her daughter.

Sensing a deception and fed up with "issues" surrounding her mother´s sexuality, Olympia turns to her father in Paris. After voicing her distress, she returns home only to find her mother making love with another woman. Her mother´s indiscretion, her tenuous situation at school, and her troubled relationship with Leo all drive Olympia to desperate measures.
