Philippe Godard
La Grande Guerre de 1914-1918 a causé un véritable traumatisme dans les pays d'Europe. L'ampleur des dégâts et le nombre considérable de victimes, engendrés par un conflit qui a duré quatre longues années, ont durablement bouleversé la vie de millions d'Européens, tout particulièrement celle des enfants. Philippe Godard nous raconte avec émotion le départ des pères au front, comment les enfants ont dû se mettre au travail et se mobiliser eux aussi pour soutenir les soldats. Il nous décrit, enfin, les lendemains douloureux d'une guerre qui a fait des millions de morts. Comment peut-on vivre, enfant, quand sa maison est détruite et son père disparu?

Herietta Ibbetson is the daughter of a prominent landowner, who's far from pleased with his rebellious daughter. When she announces her love for a mere servant, he throws her out. Marty's family is one too delighted with his choice - Etta can't cook, sew, clean or make herself useful in any way. However, Marty is ambitious, Etta is content and they are wildly in love. But is that enough to sustain them as they raise a family of their own.
