Opis

Florence grew up in New York at a time where women were rebelling against the traditional roles of gender. The pressure to pursue a career felt overwhelming because she didn't have a strong sense of self. Searching for a simple life, she took the familiar route of her mother and become a wife and mother. Sheltered within the institution of marriage, she devoted herself to family life and escaped the pressures of society. Working in her husband's business, she slowly develops her self-confidence and even goes back to school. After thirty years of marriage, the children are grown and out of the house. What could go wrong?
