What to expect

The screening shows the first two episodes (2x52'), followed by a Q&A with actresses Lula Cotton-Frapier and Barbara Probst, creator and writer Vincent Robert, and director Vania Leturcq.

Set in Paris in 1889, the story follows Rose, who leaves her rural home to become a wet nurse for a bourgeois family.

Midwife Odette warns Rose that she will not be allowed to keep her own child with her, and Rose considers secretly exchanging her baby with that of Hélène de Gersande, a mother grieving the sudden loss of her infant.

Rose, Odette and Hélène—three women from very different backgrounds—join forces to carve out a place for themselves in a male-dominated world and claim their freedom.
