Synopsis

The contrast of the destinies of two women: Angela Ferrucci, seamstress and Italian immigrant and Benoîte Groult, renowned French novelist from the Parisian bourgeoisie. While Groult forged her own destiny as a liberated free-thinking woman, Ferrucci had no control over hers. The two women talk frankly about their lives and how a changing society has affected their viewpoints and ideas, a reminder of how life has changed for women over the past fifty years.
