The Sower
Drama
In 1852, the mountain village in Provence where Violette lives is brutally deprived of all its men after the repression of the republicans ordered by Napoleon III. Women spend months in total isolation, desperate to see their men again. In this situation, they make an oath in case a man arrives in the village.
VIBE
A stark, quiet film about women enduring profound loss and isolation. It feels like a hushed, communal prayer against the unforgiving landscape, a testament to quiet strength and shared resilience.
