The story

What Is A Sunday in the Country About?

The premise of A Sunday in the Country without spoilers.

Bertrand Tavernier offers a nuanced portrait of a French family on the eve of World War I. Each Sunday the retired countryside painter receives his son Gonzague, his wife and three children, while his hurried, independent daughter Irene drops by only occasionally. The film explores unspoken desires and expectations, letting what is implied speak louder than what is shown.
