Storyline
1915. Life at the Paridier farm has changed dramatically since the men of the family (Constant, Henri and Clovis) left home to go and fight on the front line. Hortense Sandrail, Henri and Constant's mother and Clovis' mother-in-law, has taken over courageously but, although helped by her daughter Solange, she finds it hard to get by with all the workload. When harvest time comes, she makes up her to hire a farmhand but she is too late and no man is available. The mayor then recommends her an orphan named Francine Riant, who could do. Hortense agrees and the choice soon appears a blessing, as the girl proves perfect: well-mannered and respectful, she is also a hard worker who does not balk at any task. Hortense, Solange and her form an effective trio, who make the most of the situation. One day, Henri comes back to the farm on leave and he falls in love with Francine. Written by Guy Bellinger

As I just told in the Trivia line, this movie was released the same day Johnny Halliday died. He was the greatest French singer of all times. The French Elvis as Americans called him. The two main actresses of this film are Nathalie Baye and her true life daughter Laura Smet. Baye was Halliday's ex wife and Smet, the singer's daughter. More than a coincidence but an authentic tribute. So, that said, back to this film, it is a powerful but unfortunately pretty predictable drama involving widows or women waiting for their husbands, sons and brothers who are at the front during WW1. The kind of topic that you can usually find on French channels from time to time in prime time, for TV stuff only. Convincing acting for a predictable but very well made drama. But I just will remind the Johnny Halliday tribute that this feature offered without planning it.
