What Is Marriages About?

The premise of Marriages without spoilers.

In mid‑19th‑century Quebec, Yvonne lives under the domineering guidance of her elder sister Hélène and the strict Victorian morals that dominate the community.

When summer arrives, a haunting dream hints at an alternate path, and Yvonne must face the sudden return of both her estranged mother and her first love, forcing her to choose between duty and desire.
