Twenty-three year-old student Laurent (Cyrille Thouvenin) lives with his parents Jeanne (Danièle Denie) and Pierre (Idwig Stephane) behind the family Pharmacy. Laurent is gay, though he soon shares an apartment with his "girlfriend" Carole (Caroline Veyt) who accepts his sexuality and serves as a front for Laurent's closeted role with his parents. He is doing poorly studying agriculture because his close cousin Marc died recently and had been disowned by his aunt and uncle for being gay. Laurent must keep his sexuality secret so his parents will not be hurt. His marks in school are so poor that he must do an internship in field agriculture to raise his academic standing. Cédric (Stéphan Guérin-Tillié) is his tutor, an openly gay man with an understanding and loving mother Emma (Eva Darlan) in a garden setting that also serves as Cédric's agricultural research lab. The two become happy lovers until Cédric insists that Laurent be in an open relationship, which means his parents will know his preferences. Afraid that his parents will disown him, he flees and Emma tells Laurent's parents the truth. The trauma of the characters resolves the story. This French made for TV movie is realistic, brave, intelligent, powerful, sensitive, and informative, with an excellent cast and a great soundtrack. It was made for the general public. Charles Court composed the original music, Pierre Pauquet wrote the screenplay, and Christian Faure directed. In French with subtitles, the English title is "Just a Question of Love".
