(French: La Belle Saison ), directed by Catherine Corsini , is a luminous 2015 drama that captures the collision of 1970s radical feminism and the deeply rooted traditions of rural France.

: The duo participates in fierce political activism, advocating for equal pay and reproductive rights.

: The protagonists, Carole and Delphine, are named after real-life feminist artists Carole Roussopoulos and Delphine Seyrig .

The film skillfully balances the sweeping energy of the women’s liberation movement with the intimate, often painful, struggle of living authentically.

Director Catherine Corsini drew inspiration from her own youth and the lack of representative queer cinema.

: When Delphine is called home following her father’s stroke, Carole joins her. The idyllic farm setting becomes a place of secrecy, where the "rules" of rural life threaten to extinguish their liberation. A Legacy of Real-World Inspiration
