During the tumult of World War I, all the French men are conscripted, leaving women and children to guard their homes. The mother of the family manor invites the orphan Fanny to help with farming, and her diligence and competence win her the affection of everyone. However, as the men gradually return from the battlefield, various grievances and romances arise, bringing undercurrents of turmoil to the manor's peace, and Fanny is eventually expelled from the estate... Directed by Xavier Beauvois, winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes for "Of Gods and Men" (2010), the film paints the French countryside with poetic visuals that evoke memories of Terrence Malick's "Days of Heaven" (1978), with the final scene paying homage to Kubrick’s WWII classic "Paths of Glory" (1957).
