Sabine, the eldest, dreams of an artist's life in Paris; Helene, the youngest, grew up between her uncle and her aunt, bourgeois from Neuilly-sur-Seine, and her parents, simple people; Mariette, the youngest, learns the secrets and silences of a dazzling and crazy world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1970, French society is moving; women have emancipated themselves whilst men have lost their bearings. The three sisters, each in their own way, find ways to live a life of their own—a strong life, far from the morality, education, and the religion of their childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis family chronicle takes us from after May 68 to the momentous election night of May 10, 1981.
