In the movie "Summertime" (original title: "La belle saison"), Carole, a young Spanish teacher, and Delphine, a farmer's daughter, meet and form a romantic relationship in Paris in 1971. The story explores their blossoming love against the backdrop of the burgeoning feminist and gay rights movements of the time.
Carole, captivated by Delphine's free-spirited and passionate nature, decides to follow her to her family farm in the rural region of Limousin. As they arrive at the farm, Carole realizes that their relationship might face obstacles in this conservative countryside environment.
Delphine struggles to come out to her conservative family, particularly her father, who expects her to take over the family farm. The film delves into the complexities of their relationship, as Carole becomes increasingly frustrated by the homophobia they encounter in the community. Meanwhile, Delphine grapples with her own desires and the pressures to conform.
As the summer progresses, Carole becomes involved in the local women's rights movement, joining other feminists who are fighting for gender equality and sexual liberation. This newfound outlet becomes a source of empowerment for Carole, but also creates tension between her and Delphine, who may not share the same political fervor.
The film explores the sacrifices and compromises the two women must make for their relationship in the face of societal and familial expectations. It addresses themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the challenges of love in a society still dominated by traditional norms.
"Summertime" beautifully captures the essence of the 1970s feminist and gay liberation movements, and portrays a love story that challenges the boundaries of identity and societal norms. With its powerful performances and thought-provoking narrative, the film offers a poignant exploration of love, activism, and personal growth.
