The Horse of Pride (1980)

In early 20th-century Brittany, a poor peasant family struggles to survive while holding onto traditional ways. Three generations share a home and distinct roles. Evenings are filled with stories of the past and discussions of faith and politics. Despite poverty and hardship – some families facing despair – they remain strong as a unit. The family's peaceful life is disrupted when young Pierre's father is drafted into the army as war approaches. Within their close-knit home, Pierre learns about his faith and the value of education, his father and grandfather sharing their experiences and instilling pride. This moving story of love, loss, and family connection takes place in early 20th-century France, exploring themes of hope, resilience, and the strength found in family during difficult times.
