A troubled teenager engages in a series of casual sexual affairs in an attempt to gain the love and attention she lacked as a child at home. A sixteen-year-old Parisian girl embarks on a sexual rampage in an effort to separate herself from her overbearing, beloved father, ineffectual mother, and brutish brother.

A supremely amusing satire of mechanized living and consumer society.

An affecting human drama of love, loss, and strength unfolds against the backdrop of World War I. The women of the Paridier farm, under the deft hand of Hortense, the family's matriarch, must grapple with the workload while the men are off at the front. New tools allow the women to triumph over the land, newfound independence is acquired, yet emotions are stirred, especially when the men return.
