La femme française pendant la guerre
August 1914: wife and mother, woman's first sacrifice is to see her beloved depart for the front. In a city, she works in railway stations,as a waitress or even as a chimney sweep. At the factory, she only interrupts her work to feed her baby. At the country she does the plowing or picks olives. But above all a wife, she brings the soldier "fraternity and tenderness", parcels, love notes and care. She brings flowers to the dead's tombs, and remains ever present in the soldier's heart.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative not through battle scenes, but through a quiet chronicle of women's labor and endurance. It relies on documentary precision to explore how war reshapes private life, turning the home into a home front and love into a care package.
What lingers after viewing is an intimate, tactile record of everyday heroism, where each frame stands as a monument to a quiet sacrifice. The true front line, it seems, ran through women's hands. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alexandre Devarennes
Best Watched
In subdued light, thoughtfully, as a historical document. Best viewed alone or in a quiet gathering.
