Issues of class, gender roles and parenting bubble to the surface in this 19th-century tale about a shepherd girl who farms off her own newborn to a wet nurse in the countryside so that she can earn high wages nursing the infant of a wealthy couple. The two young mothers soon become friends, but trouble arises when the bourgeois hubby takes issue with his wife fraternizing with the help.
Directed by Antoine Santana
