The Women of the Coast (3): The living (1914-1916)

The war has claimed its first victims: with Paul, Émile-Auguste, René all killed on the front. Behind the lines, the women's lives have also dramatically changed. Clara and Fanny have become nursing volunteers, Alix has taken over the cider mill on the departure of her brother Charles, Clémence manages the cheese factory in the absence of her brother Louis. Fanny gives in to Raoul's repeated demands and marries him, more by patriotism than for love.
