Episode 1 • Feb 13, 2023
Les Premiers Pas: 1789 - 1914
In this first part, the directors go back to the origins of civil marriage, established in 1792 and based on mutual consent. At the same time, the deputies invented divorce. In the countryside, love is freer than the image that has remained of it. The important thing is not to have children, which would force the lovers to regularize their union. Witnesses like the actress Cécile Bois also share their experiences and their point of view.
Episode 2 • Feb 13, 2023
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire: 1914 -1956
In August 1914, as the First World War broke out and men were leaving for the front, thousands of Frenchmen were getting married. Some men, trapped in the trenches, were able to marry from a distance. But the conflict inevitably separated the couples. The lovers write letters to each other in large numbers in which they dream of life together and invent their own words... The filmmakers continue to explore the evolution of French love by interviewing various witnesses, such as Jean-Pierre Darroussin, and by editing archival images.
Episode 3 • Feb 13, 2023
Désir et Consentement: 1956 - aujourd'hui
At the end of the 1950s, France was on the verge of a revolution that would radically change its inhabitants' relationship to love: sexual liberation. With the invention of the pill, women could now lead the way. They demanded equality and the consideration of their desires. This marks the beginning of the battle for consent. In the 1960's, one out of three French men was under 20 years old. The young people are so numerous that boys and girls are mixed in the classes. But it was necessary to win the right to go out.
