La belle saison



Catherine Corsini : 2015
Summertime

It's 1971, Delphine is 23 years old. A country girl and farmer's daughter, she moves from her rural roots to Paris in order to gain financial independence and dreams of owning her own business, an inconceivable notion at that time. Carole is a Parisienne. She's 35 years old, a teacher of Spanish and in a relationship with Manuel. She is also an activist involved in the stirrings of the feminist movement. When Delphine and Carole meet, they become involved in an all-consuming romance. However, when Delphine has to return home after her father's stroke, the couple find it difficult to square this new life with the less liberal attitude of the village and Delphine's family. A passionate and sensual tale of sexual and political awakening. Catherine Corsini's feature was winner of the Variety Piazza Grande Award when it premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2015.
