Claire is a midwife in a maternity hospital. She is humane and helpful and gives herself entirely to her patients. But for all that her life is not a bed of roses. Her hospital is about to close its doors and the devoted woman is determined not to work in the new modern hospital she regards as a “baby factory”. Her personal life is no triumph either: she is single and does not make friends easily. To make matters worse, her student son Simon is gradually leaving home, as he is developing a relationship with his new sweetheart Lucie. It is the moment that chooses Bรฉatrice, her dead father’s former mistress, to resurface…
A great movie with two of best French actresses Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot (A ten-time Cรฉsar Award nominee, she won the awards for Best Actress for Marguerite in 2015)
