Diane carries the child of her homosexual friends Thomas and Jacques as a surrogate mother. With no real job or plans beyond waiting to give birth, Diane hangs around the isolated country house of her grandparents, which she decides to fix up in her free time. When an electrician named Fabrizio swings by to make some repairs, the two quickly fall for one another, though their affair is soon complicated by Diane’s situation — especially the fact that her body seems to be as much the property of Thomas and Jacques as it is her own. The film, which was presented at the Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur, uses gestation pour autrui (GPA) - surrogacy - as the backdrop for a profound examination of modern forms of relationships and parenthood. Gorgeart avoids reducing the story to a mere thematic film. Instead, DIANE HAS THE RIGHT SHAPE offers a subtle, humorous and yet serious reflection on love, self-determination and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world. DIANE HAS THE RIGHT SHAPE is not only a story about a surrogate mother, but also a commentary on the many forms of love and responsibility in today's society. The film encourages us to think about traditional life paths and shows that life often has the most unexpected twists and turns in store. "A promising feature debut from writer-director Fabien Gorgeart, who teams up with star Coltilde Hesme for a well-observed portrait of a woman embarking on a new romance while also having a baby."
