Des hommes et des femmes, nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, ils n'ont aucun point commun sinon d'être homosexuels et d'avoir choisi de le vivre au grand jour, à une époque où la société rejetait l'homosexualité. Ils ont aimé, désiré, lutté, pour se faire reconnaître. Aujourd'hui, ils racontent ce que fut cette vie insoumise, partagée entre la volonté de rester des gens comme les autres et l'obligation de s'inventer une liberté pour s'épanouir.

Adèle is an introverted 15-year-old high-school student whose classmates gossip constantly about boys. While crossing the street one day, she passes by a woman with short blue hair and is instantly attracted. She dates a boy at her school for a short while and they have sex, but she is ultimately dissatisfied and breaks off their relationship. After having vivid fantasies about the woman she saw on the street and having one of her female friends behave flirtatiously towards her, she becomes troubled about her sexual identity. One friend, the openly gay Valentin, seems to understand her confusion and takes her to a gay dance bar. After some time, Adèle leaves and walks into a lesbian bar, where she experiences assertive advances from some of the women. The blue haired woman is also there and intervenes, claiming Adèle is her cousin to those pursuing Adèle. The woman is Emma, a graduating art student. They become friends and begin to spend more time with each other. Adèle's friends suspect her of being a lesbian and ostracise her at school. Despite the backlash, she becomes very close to Emma. Their bond increases and before long, the two share a kiss at a picnic. They later have sex and begin a passionate relationship. Emma's artsy family is very welcoming to the couple, but Adèle tells her conservative, working-class parents that Emma is just a tutor for philosophy class.

En octobre 1999, Frédérick Muller, un sylviculteur du Loiret d'origine alsacienne, taciturne et passionné de Wagner, n'assiste pas à l'enterrement de son fils aîné Charles, laissant ses proches dans l'incompréhension et la colère, notamment son plus jeune fils Guillaume. Quelques semaines plus tard il décide d'expliquer son geste au moment d'un repas familial. Charles, son fils décédé, savait le secret que son père gardait depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Alors jeune homme, Frédérick avait été incarcéré en 1941 plus d'un an au camp de Schirmeck en Alsace non pas pour des opinions politiques comme la légende familiale l'affirme depuis 50 ans, mais en application par les autorités françaises des lois de discrimination et de déportation des homosexuels du paragraphe 175 du code pénal allemand. Charles connaissant la réalité, avait dès lors méprisé son père et lui avait enjoint de taire ce secret et de ne pas assister à ses funérailles. Marianne, sa femme qui a toujours connu la vérité, avait accepté cette situation et, malgré tout, avait construit sa famille avec cet homme qu'elle aimait, et qu'elle laissait libre de vivre une vie amoureuse parallèle. Le choc de cette révélation s'abat sur Guillaume et Delphine, la fille de Charles.
