Description

Our society is constantly evolving, and we often hear the phrase: "things were better before."<div> It is 1957 in René Coty's France. Five brides-to-be, of different ages, from varied geographical and social backgrounds and with contrasting personal histories, diligently consult the etiquette manual which dispenses "precious" advice on how to be a perfect wife: always speak in a neutral voice, stay properly hydrated by drinking a liter of beer and two glasses of wine daily, use asbestos talcum powder for the baby... Astounding advice, and yet rigorously authentic!</div><div> Beneath the French elegance of their silhouettes, their outfits, their impeccable hairstyles which charm us as they sing and dance, these women each tell us their own story in turn, the one behind the mirror, the one of society, of its weight, its judgment and its conventions.</div><div> They confide in us, then close themselves off like a leaden weight on their hopes. Our society is constantly evolving, and we often hear the phrase, "things were better before"; but when it comes to the condition of women, the answer is clearly not that! An informative, funny show that says a lot about the relationship between men and women.</div><div><br></div>
