Synopsis
The Midwife (Sage femme, 2017) is a French-Belgian drama from Martin Provost you can watch online on iFILM. Claire has spent her life delivering other people's babies and keeping almost nothing for herself.
She has a small garden, a level-headed grown son and a job she believes in — until the maternity clinic where she works is marked for closure. At that very moment Béatrice walks back into her life: her late father's old mistress, a vain, reckless woman who loves luxury and breaks promises without blinking. She vanished three decades ago and now returns asking for forgiveness, and for help. Two opposites are forced to share the same orbit.
The whole film rests on Catherine Frot and Catherine Deneuve playing off each other — quiet restraint against careless flamboyance — and the contrast is a pleasure to watch. This is gentle, humane cinema with no big twists, made for viewers who prize acting over plot machinery. Stream The Midwife (2017) online on iFILM.
