Alt Gossip Celebrities

An einem Winterabend kreuzen sich zwei gebrochene Seelen auf dem Dach eines Gebäudes. Er, Gabriel, 37 Jahre alt, hat gerade erfahren, dass er steril ist. Seine letzte Hoffnung ist zerbrochen. Seine Träume von Vaterschaft, die Opfer… alles war vergeblich. Er ist dort oben, um dem Lärm der Welt zu entfliehen, um sich dem Abgrund zu stellen. Sie, Élise, 19 Jahre alt, ist nach einem Anruf, der ihre Realität erschüttert hat, auf dasselbe Dach gestiegen: Sie ist schwanger. Aber sie ist Jungfrau. Kein Mann, ja, kein Kontakt, nichts. Und doch ist der Test eindeutig. Ihr Arzt spricht von einem "Wunder", aber für sie ist es eine brutale Unmöglichkeit, fast ein Verrat ihres eigenen Körpers. Sie kann nicht mehr. Sie möchte verstehen oder verschwinden. In dieser schwebenden Nacht sprechen sie miteinander. Sie kennen sich nicht, und doch entsteht eine Verbindung, zerbrechlich, intensiv. Eine Art Zärtlichkeit zwischen zwei Einsamkeiten. Sie teilen nur Fragmente ihrer Wahrheit, ohne zu wissen, dass ihre Schicksale bereits viel tiefer miteinander verwoben sind, als sie sich vorstellen können. Denn was weder der eine noch die andere noch weiß, ist, dass vor einigen Wochen ein Fehler in einer Fertilitätsklinik gemacht wurde. Das Sperma von Gabriel, das trotz seiner Diagnose aufbewahrt wurde, wurde versehentlich bei einer Insemination verwendet. Und das Kind, das Élise erwartet, ist seines. Ein unerwartetes Drama, ein Geheimnis, das im Fleisch eines unschuldigen zukünftigen Kindes geschrieben steht. Und wenn die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt, wird nichts mehr so sein wie zuvor.
