Daughters Beyond Command

Set against the backdrop of a transforming French society in the 1970s, the story follows three sisters from a modest Catholic family in Aix-en-Provence. As they navigate their distinct paths—Sabine's artistic aspirations in Paris, Hèlène's struggle between bourgeois norms and familial simplicity, and Mariette's immersion in a vibrant yet chaotic world—they each seek autonomy from their traditional upbringing. This family saga captures the emotional and societal shifts from the May 1968 protests to the 1981 elections, reflecting a poignant era of awakening and change.
