My Love, My Land

In the midst of war-torn Belgium, an unlikely friendship is formed between four women as they struggle to survive the horrors of World War One.

Belgium, August 1914.

Modest in status but happy in love, Thérèse Aubel waits for her husband Henri to return from war.

Alone on their farm one Saturday afternoon, Thérèse hears the sound of distant thunder. But this is no storm, this is an invasion.

Dinant is burning in the distance. For a while Thérèse stands motionless, watching the billowing smoke and the shells exploding like brief yellow stars.

The Germans are coming. Thérèse knows what she must do.

She sets fire to everything she has ever known and leaves her home in ashes, with only her wedding photograph for company.

Thérèse flees to safety and takes refuge in an abandoned convent with three local women: dressmaker Clothilde, pregnant teenager Yvette, and elderly and confused Grand’mère. They attempt to build a new life out of the chaos that surrounds them. But thoughts of Henri still plague Thérèse.

Different in character but united in their will to survive, the four women are pushed to their limits. But, without love, is there anything left worth fighting for?
