Il était une fois l'Amour à la Française

SYNOPSIS

French history and their love stories are no strangers to each other. Ever since the French Revolution, love has been a matter of state in France. In a country which has decreed that "all men are born free and equal", what about equality in the relations between women and men? What about consent? And who do we actually have the right to love? How do we understand each other, the meaning of love, and the couple itself? As the French fight for freedom and equality, romantic relationships are constantly being questioned and reinvented. This tumultuous history of more than 200 years tells how the French see love. And yet, it remains secretive. French people of all ages, known or unknown, share their personal stories and those of their family; their lives intimately linked to the history of France.
