Unifrance Series Express - Swapped

Screening of the first two episodes (2x52'), followed by a Q&A with actresses Lula Cotton-Frapier and Barbara Probst; creator and writer Vincent Robert; and director Vania Leturcq Paris, 1889. Hoping to offer her baby a better future, Rose leaves her rural home to become a wet nurse for a bourgeois family. She meets Odette, a midwife, who warns her that she will not be allowed to keep her own child with her. A risky solution presents itself to Rose: secretly exchange her baby with that of Hélène de Gersande, a mother grieving the sudden loss of her infant. Rose, Odette and Hélène—three women from very different backgrounds—will have to join forces to carve out a place for themselves in a male-dominated world and claim their freedom.
