A picture of a happy young woman full of hopes and dreams. Growing up, Edouard knew only his mother's sadness, as she found herself trapped in the humdrum life of a housewife, and her struggles against the dominant world of men. What happened in those years since the photo was taken?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, at the age of forty-five, his mother frees herself from this oppression.
