Double Lucky
DOCUMENTARY (25 MIN) | HUMAN, NPO2 | 2018
Documentary director Esmée van Loon grew up with two moms. This always led to many questions from surroundings: “Who’s your real mother?”, “How have you been conceived?” and “Don’t you miss a dad?”. She doesn’t always know how to handle these intimate questions and decided to investigate on how other people her age deal with this. Marijn, Dora and Lieke also grew up with gay parents and talk to Esmée about how this form of parenthood shaped them. In this film you’ll experience what it’s like to grow up with pink parents and a critical, but humorous, look is taken at all these “well intentioned” questions.
Double Lucky can be found on Canal+ (France) and Purplay (Korea)
