Maria Chapdelaine (1983)
In the harsh and picturesque northern Québec, a young woman lives with her parents and siblings on a remote farm. She finds herself torn between three suitors: Eutrope, a steady and unimaginative farmer, Lorenzo, a wealthy man who made his fortune in Boston, and François Paradis, a rough and virile logger who captures her heart despite warnings from her parents and the village priest. As the seasons change and the atmosphere is charged with the strangeness of the indigenous people and the spirits of the woods, Maria works and prays, struggling to make decisions. She chooses to stay in Canada, in love with François and hoping to change his rough behavior. But as she deals with extraordinary loss, she finds herself facing even more difficult choices.
