Details
In La belle saison (2015), a young woman named Delphine leaves her conservative family in the French countryside and moves to Paris in the 1970s. Deviating from societal expectations, she embraces the vibrant atmosphere of the city and becomes enthralled with the feminist movement sweeping across France during that time. As Delphine immerses herself in this new world, she meets and falls in love with Carole, a confident and charismatic activist.
Delphine and Carole's relationship blossoms into a passionate and liberating love affair. Together, they navigate the complexities of their love amidst the backdrop of a changing society and political unrest. Their bond is further tested when Delphine is forced to return to her rural hometown due to unforeseen circumstances, and Carole must decide whether to follow her.
La belle saison beautifully captures the essence of the feminist movement and explores themes of freedom, self-discovery, and the courage to live authentically.

With its stunning cinematography and captivating performances, La belle saison invites viewers into the vibrant world of 1970s France while showcasing the resilience and determination of two women fighting for their love and freedom.
