The Midwife DVD

Two of French cinema's biggest stars shine in this bittersweet drama about the unlikely friendship that develops between Claire (Catherine Frot), a talented but tightly wound midwife, and Béatrice (Catherine Deneuve), the estranged, free-spritied mistress of Claire's late father. Through polar opposites in almost every way, the two come to rely on each other as they cope with the unusual circumstances that brought them together in this sharp characer study.
