The Guardians (Les gardiennes): nineteen fifteen. Life at the Paridier farm has changed dramatically since the men of the family (Constant, Georges and Clovis) left home to
go and fight on the front line. Hortense Sandrail, Henri and Constant's mother and Clovis' mother-in-law, has taken over courageously but, although helped by her daughter
Solange, she finds it hard to get by with all the workload. When harvest time comes, she makes up her mind to hire a farmhand but she is too late and no man is available.
