Le temps des framboises

Surviving the unexpected death of her husband John, Elisabeth has no choice but to dive headlong into a new and often-unpredictable life. A life she knows nothing about : farm life! The shit has so hit the fan! Not only does she have to hold her ground against a pack of controlling and slightly hysterical in-laws, she must also deal with nature’s whims – and with her own mounting ethical dilemmas as she dares to question longstanding practices.

Our take

Cleverly switching between burlesque and tragedy, this series from Quebec co-created by Florence Longpré (revelation at Séries Mania in 2019 with M’entends-tu ? for Best comedy) tells the story of Elizabeth, who is trying to grieve, next to a difficult step-family, while managing a farm on her own, with agricultural workers she does not know and does not understand.
