A lesbian romance set in 1970's France, in a time awash with changing cultural and social mores. But long-held traditions are never easy to overcome, especially for a country girl. From director Catherine Corsini (Three Worlds - SFFF 2013) and starring the luminous Cécile de France (Chinese Puzzle - SFFF 2014, A Secret - SFFF 2008 - High Tension, SFFF 2008) in the performance of her career.

Center of France, 1971. After her secret girlfriend breaks up with her to get married, Delphine (Izïa Higelin, Samba - SFFF 2015), a farmer's only daughter, moves to Paris. There, she meets Carole (Cécile de France), a Parisian actively involved in the feminist movement who lives with her activist boyfriend. Smitten by Carole (and who wouldn't be when she is portrayed by Cécile de France?) Delphine joins her women's lib group and soon, the two women are having a torrid affair.

When Delphine's father has a stroke, she must go back home to run the farm with her mother (an impressive Noémie Lvovsky, Jacky in the Kingdom of Women - SFFF 2015, House of Pleasures – SFFF 2012, The French Kissers - SFFF 2010, and also with a cameo in The Sweet Escape playing at this year’s Festival). Carole, desperately in love, abandons her boyfriend to "pay a visit," as Delphine puts it to her mother. But, sooner or later, Delphine will have to decide: coming out to her family, or losing Carole.

The on-screen chemistry between the solar Cécile de France and the lunar Izïa Higelin is so infectious that you can't help but rooting for them, even as it becomes clear that the odds are not in their favor...
