LE MANUEL DE LA JEUNE MARIEE 1957

A dive into the past as astounding as it is historical, you won't believe your eyes!

Summary:

The year is 1957. On the eve of their wedding, five future brides diligently study a manual of good manners that dispenses precious advice: avoid all political opinions, be tirelessly devoted to one's husband, try to give birth to a dozen children, or disinfect one's house with clear water and formaldehyde.

A manual as true as it is aberrant! Discover these tips from another era and the abyssal gap between the condition of women yesterday and today. A joyful comedy that celebrates in music and songs the journey women have made, to share as a couple, with friends or family.
