Le temps des femmes ?

Veronique, a young Parisian filmmaker, begins documenting her grandmother's war experiences but discovers the three generations of women in her family speak different languages—both literally and metaphorically. The camera becomes a bridge as the grandmother teaches her granddaughter a family recipe in the kitchen while the mother attempts to translate their fragmented conversation. This 2025 documentary evolves into an exploration of memory, silence, and how stories travel through matrilineal lines. The director weaves archival home videos, contemporary interviews, and quiet observations of daily rituals into a portrait not of an individual but of an entire gendered history, where what remains unspoken often carries more weight than narrated recollections.
