In the aftermath of WWII, strong-willed Antonia returns to her small hometown where she has inherited her mother’s farm. Antonia, joined by her free-spirited artist daughter Danielle, ingratiates herself with the town’s tight-knit and eccentric community. As the years unfold, love and tragedy come to Antonia and Danielle, and the pair fosters a vibrant circle of strong, liberated women. Winner of the 1996 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Feminist director Gorris, whose previous features explored sexual politics and relations with a critical eye, here trades rhetoric for whimsy, warmth, and fantasy... Highly recommended." - Video Librarian
