Summertime

Plots: A young woman moves from the French countryside to Paris and begins a passionate love affair with a feminist leader in this drama set in 1970s France. There was little chance, in the year 1971, that Carole, a Paris Spanish teacher and feminist militant, would ever meet Delphine, the daughter of a couple of Limousin farmers. But they did meet and not only did they come across each other but they fell passionately in love as well. Unfortunately, Delphine’s father fell victim to a stroke, and the young woman had no other choice but to go back home to help her mother run the family farm. Carole, who was so smitten by Delphine, couldn’t stand the estrangement and decided to join her lover at the farm. But could feminism and lesbianism easily be transferred to the countryside and its standards of the time…? Delphine (Higelin) is a twenty-something farm girl of humble means who moves to the big city of Paris in the turbulent 1970s, searching for her independence. It’s not long before she is drawn to dynamic thirty-something Carole (de France), who is actively involved in the emerging feminist movement.
