The film is in French with English sub titles.

"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 when the men return." - Kanopy

Nominated for four awards, including Best Cinematography and Most Promising Actress (Iris Bry) at the César Awards. Nominated for Best International Film at the the Munich Film Festival.

"Like a series of Monet paintings come to life, the historical drama THE GUARDIANS luxuriates in lush, widescreen images of the French countryside." - Christy Lemire, RobertEbert.com

The film runs 2 hours and 14 minutes. Other French related titles are available through our library catalog.

This is a public performance rights (PPR) showing and is recommended for viewers 18 and older.

Join us for screenings of a variety of programs from around the world. All movies have English subtitles. Programs will occur on the first Sunday of the month. Screenings begin at 1:45 pm, after a short introduction.  Plan to arrive at 1:30 to meet other attendees, and so as not to miss the film introduction. Tea will be served after the showing for conversation to continue. We will choose films from the Kanopy program, which can be accessed with a library card.

Learn more about the film content available with your library card by visiting the Kanopy website.
