DramaHistory

This is the story of Céleste, a young, maid employed by Victoire and André in 1908. It is the story of Victoire, the model wife she doesn't know how to be. Two women who are completely different but who live under the same roof, defying conventions and the unspoken.

VIBE

A poignant, restrained historical drama that observes the quiet defiance within societal constraints. It's an intimate, character-driven slow-burn exploring unspoken desires and the subtle rebellion against rigid gender roles and class expectations in a meticulously crafted 1908 setting.
