Watch: La Belle Saison 2015 123movies, Full Movie Online – There was little chance, in the year 1971, that Carole, a Paris Spanish teacher and feminist militant, would ever meet Delphine, the daughter of a couple of Limousin farmers. But they did meet and not only did they come across each other but they fell passionately in love as well. Unfortunately, Delphine’s father fell victim to a stroke, and the young woman had no other choice but to go back home to help her mother run the family farm. Carole, who was so smitten by Delphine, couldn’t stand the estrangement and decided to join her lover at the farm. But could feminism and lesbianism easily be transferred to the countryside and its standards of the time…?.
Plot: In 1971, Carole and Delphine meet and fall in love in Paris. When Carole follows Delphine back to her family farm in Limousin, the two find lesbianism and feminism are not as easy in the countryside.

French lesbian film
It’s 1971 France. Delphine Benchiessa (Izïa Higelin) works at her family’s rural farm. Her father berates her for being too slow to find a man. Unbeknownst to him, she’s a lesbian. Her girlfriend surprises her by marrying a local boy. In Paris, she gets caught up with a group of militant feminists. She falls for their leader Carole (Cécile de France). After her father suffers a stroke, Delphine is forced to go home and take care of the farm.It’s another version of the tragic lesbian love story. I do wonder if 1971 France is a little too late to have this story. Usually, it’s Victorian ladies on a gravel beach trying to discover lesbianism. In reality, rural conservatism and family dynamics do account for it. These ladies are not ignorant of the world. The 70’s is not all disco and gay. It’s still a fight for rights and acceptance. The danger isn’t as high, and the story becomes smaller. Delphine could always run off and abandon the farm. It’s not like society prevents her from getting a job in Paris. The issue becomes more internal and personal. It’s a relationship movie.
Sensibilities collide
This story of a relationship between a farmer’s daughter and the woman she meets in Paris is effective in some ways. Set in the early 70s in the first flush of modern feminism, the plot is pretty simple and the issue simpler – will they stay together against the pressures of rural society? Izia Hegelin makes an effective and believable daughter of the soil, struggling to reconcile her feelings and her ties to her land and family; in an underwritten role as her lover, Cecile de France is less effective but does her best. Some good scenes showing the sometimes silly behaviour of activists and their disconnect from real life. The ending seemed slightly unlikely to me in some ways. There are sex scenes but they are neither very erotic nor graphic. So – worth seeing, but only a moderately good film.
