One Sings, the Other Doesn't
You are not born a woman… you become one.
Directed by Agnès Varda
Produced by Ciné-Tamaris, Paradise Films
A warm, intimate portrait of female friendship and self-determination across a decade of social change, grounded in the lived realities of women navigating autonomy, motherhood, and identity.
The intertwined lives of two women in 1970s France, set against the progress of the women's movement in which Agnes Varda was involved. Pomme and Suzanne meet when Pomme helps Suzanne obtain an abortion after a third pregnancy which she cannot afford. They lose contact but meet again ten years later. Pomme has become an unconventional singer, Suzanne a serious community worker - despite the contrast they remain friends and share in the various dramas of each others' lives, in the process affirming their different female identities.
