The Children of the Marshland

In the serene landscape of Marais, nestled along the picturesque banks of Loire river in 1918, two men navigate the intricacies of daily life amidst the backdrop of post-World War I France. Riton, burdened by a tempestuous marriage and three rambunctious children, struggles to maintain order in his chaotic world. In stark contrast, Garris finds solace in the quietude of his home, haunted by his experiences as a soldier in the trenches of war.Their days are punctuated by seasonal work and visits from their closest friends – Tane, the easygoing local train conductor who brings news from afar, and Amédée, an ardent reader of classic literature whose dreams weave tales far beyond the confines of their rural village. Together, they forge connections and find solace in each other's company, as they navigate through the complexities of life, love, and loss in a time of great transformation.
