Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In the beginning of the Twentieth Century, in Britanny, Pierre-Jacques narrates the story of his peasant parents since they got married in their province. Pierre-Alain and Anne-Marie got married and live with their parents in the same house. They work with their neighbors, women and men performing separate work. They have good moments with their plantation and bad moments with starvation. The Breton's religion, superstitions, beliefs and customs are transmitted by parents to their kids along with the stories told by the elders. When the men go to fight in the World War I, the women need to work harder to survive with their families. Despite the poverty, people is proud of their lives. Since the family of Pierre-Jacques cannot afford to have a horse, his grandfather Alain and his father put him on their shoulder to ride on the horse of pride.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film was badly received by French critics on its release. It is very rarely broadcast on French television, and it has never had its own release on DVD in France. The French DVD releases bundle it as a double feature with Bluebeard (1963), or with Quiet Days in Clichy (1990), both directed by Claude Chabrol too. See more » |
