The Divine Order Page #2

Synopsis: Switzerland, 1971: Nora is a young housewife and mother who lives with her husband and their two sons in a peaceful little village. Here, in the Swiss countryside, little or nothing is felt of the huge social upheavals that the movement of May 1968 has caused. Nora's life, too, has been unaffected; she is a retiring, quiet person, well liked by everyone - until she begins to campaign publicly and pugnaciously for women's right to vote, an issue that will be put before the male voters on February 7th, 1971.

My little bird, next year

we'll go somewhere.

I'm earning more now too.

I would like

to do something different

cleaning and washing socks

all the time

gets boring after a while.

Boring?

Yes.

I have got an idea

I'll get you pregnant again,

then you wouldn't be bored any more.

- Hans, I'm serious.

- Me too.

No, stop!

Good bye!

Shall we meet back here?

In two hours.

- What?

Don't worry.

We're just going for a ride.

No, absolutely not.

You cannot do that!

Hanna!

Hanna!

For god's sake!

Would you like

to join our association?

- What association?

- The herisau womens' association.

- No thank you.

- We are fighting for the liberation of women.

- But I don't need to be liberated.

- Aha!

So you don't feel

you need liberating?

All day, it's the same thing.

I'm fed up of hearing it!

It's because of women like you

that there is no progress.

We need to hold together and fight,

or we will never get

the right to vote!

- Luzi!

That's enough.

She is very passionate.

I'm not actually against it.

But you probably don't say out loud

that you are in favor.

What's the use?

It won't make any difference.

The more we push,

the more the men do

what they want.

Thank you!

- No, no, it does make a difference.

The vote on women's right to vote

in February

is thanks to all the women who have

been fighting tirelessly for 100 years.

Motions, petitions,

applications, demonstrations, letters

they have not let themselves be

discouraged.

Especially here in the countryside,

we need brave women

who dare to express their views

out loud.

Take a couple of brochures with you.

They explain everything better.

And these,

and these,

and that.

They are free.

Thank you.

Good evening.

What? To Zurich?

Yes, and she said

she is not coming home.

She called an hour ago.

My god, there's.

I am so, so sorry.

How could you leave her alone

with that man, Nora?

She said they were just

going for a quick ride.

She was giving you the runaround too,

just like the rest of us.

There will be consequences for her.

No doubt about it.

I'm going to bed.

Nora, it's not your fault.

The way she used me like that

when her bloke realizes

she has no money,

she'll be back home in no time.

About this job advert

I've been thinking about it.

I'd be home in the evenings.

We'd just have to eat

a little later.

And I'm sure I can find a solution

for the boys' lunch.

But we've talked

about this already.

But we didn't finish.

Won't it be too much for you?

The household, my father,

the boys

I don't want my sons having

to eat tinned ravioli.

- But your sons like it.

I also don't want

you being around strange men
