The Divine Order Page #5

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.

and deeper into a black hole.

I hoped it would get better, when

father-in-law wasn't living with us anymore.

The two of them fought

tooth and nail.

Every day-

but I think

Werner is deeply unhappy

as a farmer.

Did I ever tell you we used

to dream about emigrating to Canada?

Back then, we had even

made plans.

Really, he could do

with some help.

But nobody is

allowed to say that.

You have no idea

how much strength it gives me

to be involved in this thing.

What's wrong?

Daddy, can you

only cook eggs?

Don't be so cheeky, boy.

When I was a child,

we had nothing but potatoes every day.

I want mummy to come home.

Don't start crying.

You're not a girl.

I would never have let

my wife get away with this.

You'll see, as soon as they

start missing their children,

they'll come running home.

Eat!

You didn't have to come

for that.

I don't take them anyway.

Why didn't you say

that you weren't coming home again?

Why? I only get in the way.

You just cannot do right by her.

- Have a glass of wine with us, magda?

- No thanks.

Sugo

what you are doing

cannot be good for business.

We women need

to stick together, basta!

How long will

the strike last?

- Until the Sunday of the vote.

- We are taking a stand.

- Oh, a stand

- my daughter

believes she hit the jackpot

with her husband.

Did you know that magda

studied law?

Really? Law?

But then she met a doctor

and gave it all up for him.

A woman who studied

was too much for the ego

of the esteemed medic.

You can't talk, mother.

You never said anything

to father either.

You put up with everything.

And now you start with all the big talk.

Unlike you, I never studied. And you are

still making the same mistakes as me.

At least I'm not standing around

in a stinky bar

with nothing to show for it in the end.

You don't know what

will happen in the end.

Try some

it's my grandma's recipe.

- Lots of garlic good.

- Garlic?

No, no garlic.

- No?

- No.

Ok, I'm going now.

Why don't you join us?

And sleep with these women

in the attic? No, thanks!

I have

a spare room too.

If the doctor's wife went on strike,

it would make a big impression.

No, absolutely not!

- Cheers, girls!

- Cheers!

My god, that is almost as good as

you know what I mean.

- Mother!

- Although ruedi was

a scumbag, that side of things

always worked wonderfully for us.

- I don't want to know!

- There are different rules

in the bedroom and in business.

What do you mean?

A woman can be the boss by day

and a gentle bunny by night.

The two things have nothing

to do with one another.

I wouldn't mind being

a bunny again.

Werner has not

touched me for a long time.

Not even a cuddle.

But you have

two hands and a pussycat

to love.

And you, Nora?

Have you always been good,

since you got married?

- Yes.

Hans is the love of my life.

But

sadly, he doesn't really know

so.. I've never

I've never had a

it just doesn't work for me.

Never at all?

That's what I just said.

But you don't just

leave it to the man.

You don't just lie back

and it happens.

You need to do something

yourself too.

What about by yourself

I mean, when you do it yourself

does it work then?

Myself?

Yes, so I haven't really done it

very often

you see, that's the problem!

She needs more practice.

Maybe she's not doing it right.

Nora do you even know now

where everything is?

- Yes.

- So, practise,

practise, practise.

And don't give up too soon.

What did we learn in Zurich?

Love your vagina.

Luki, can you open the door?

- You need to speak to your wife.

- They need to stop the strike.

Speak to your own wives.

But yours started it.

I'm not happy with everything either,

but I'm not just going to leave

her with the children because of it.

Mine has never complained,

and suddenly nothing is right.

As I said, you need

to sort it out with your own wives.

If this doesn't stop,

we will have to take action.

Women on strike

I'd like to talk to my wife.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

Leave it, vreni.

We'll be fine.

Can we talk alone?

Nora, you're not getting

anywhere with the strike.

On the contrary

the men need to notice

that something has to change.

But it won't work as a full-on

knee-jerk reaction.

But it won't work

peacefully and patiently either.

Who helped you

discover your tiger?

I did!

And you've really

never ...?

I...

We need to practice.

I want you to come home.

There is something brewing

and I'm worried.

We are striking until

the day of the vote.

But I asked so nicely

then stay with

your stupid women.

- Hey!

- What's going on?

- You're coming back home.

- Home. Now. Come on!

- Are you nuts?

- Come on now!

Let go of her!

- What is this?

- Let's go. Pack your stuff up.

No, leave her alone!

- No!

- What's going on?

Dammit!

Scumbags!

Miserable scumbags!

Miserable bloody

scumbags!

These

vreni!

- Vreni?

- Vreni! Vreni, what's wrong?

Quick, call an ambulance!

Can you hear me?

- Please get magda.

- Put a pillow under her head.

Vreni? Can you hear us?

I'm not going back to the farm.

I have to get Hanna

out of prison.

Maybe magda can help me.

And where will you go?

To start with, to St. gallen

to stay with my cousin.

And you?

I'm going home.

Graziella here?

I am

suo marito. Her husband.

- In the kitchen.

- Thank you.

Goodnight.

Invitation to interview

That the significance

of the differences between the sexes

is great

and that women should

therefore not be given

the right to vote.

Irrespective of the fact

that we are convinced

that the majority of women

in our country

simply do not want

the right to vote.

- Goodnight.

Words spoken

by the president of the Swiss campaign

against the white paper on women voting

at a gathering

against the proposal.

The propaganda from

opponents to women's rights to vote

It's what you wanted.

A holiday.

You and me.

Like before we got married.

Thank you.

Hans."

I got that job.

But I told you

I didn't want you to.

And what

if it is what I want?

I'm really trying.

We're even going to the cote d'azur.

I don't want to go to the cote d'azur.

I want to work.

And what does that mean?

Is that more important to you

than our family?

And are you not

thinking about our children?

I am!

But what good is it to the boys

if their mother is unhappy?

Unhappy?

Then let's get divorced.

Have you really thought this through?

Graziella

Nora, darling!

Can I stay here?

Of course.

My husband and I

he wants a separation.

Maybe he just needs

a little time.

You are not divorced.

I wanted to

but it is

complicated.

He says he can't

live without me.

And you?

I don't want to

grow old alone, Nora.

And how can I

find a man here?

Werner?

Werner!

Dammit!

Werner?

Come on, get up.

Shove off.

Leave me alone.

Come on. Get up.

Up.

Calm down!

I can't go on!

Calm down.

And? How are things on the farm?

He can manage on his own.

There was never much help anyway.
