What a great surprise this little series! Acerbic but fun portrait of a microcosme straddling conformism and modernity at the dawn of sexual liberation. Everything works, from the historical context to the characters, well conceived and well acted. A great little soap opera with a surprising deep insight into the gender politics of the period, and into the eternal dynamics of power and generational conflict. A world away from the usual cookie-cutter Amazon series. Bravo les français.
