Women at War

Women at War shifts the focus of the First World War away from the front lines and into the civilian experience of 1914 France. By centering the narrative on the domestic and social upheaval caused by the conflict, the series examines how sudden tragedy forces individual women into positions of authority and survival. Each character navigates the collapse of her former world through a different lens, ranging from institutional power inside a convent to the industrial pressures of running a family factory.

The emotional core of the production relies on the performances of the lead ensemble, including Audrey Fleurot, to define the high stakes of these changing social roles. The series links four disparate lives at a time when the traditional political and physical landscapes of their country are being torn apart. By prioritizing the internal costs of the war, the show develops a historical drama that highlights personal independence and duty over the typical battlefield spectacle.
