| Pascal (Daniel Auteuil) and his six daughters |
A charming period film, set in southern France during WWI.
A saintly young 18-year old woman (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey) - the title character - has an affair with a wealthy pilot, just before he is called off to war.
When she has a baby out of wedlock, her widowed father - played by Daniel Auteuil who also directed - is determined to keep his family's honor.
Wonderful performances by the entire cast, including Ms Bergès-Frisbey, who is perhaps best known as the mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Beautiful music, scenery, and costumes. Highly recommended.
Language: French / Color / 1 hour, 49 minutes / Available on DVD
