This films offers an intimate insight into the lives of two same-sex families who found a way to create themselves within a legal grey area in Switzerland. Swiss law bans adoption and access to assisted reproductive medicine by same-sex couples. The families portrayed in this film therefore do not officially exist. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that there are between 6,000 and 30,000 children living in such ‘non-existent’ rainbow families across the country.
