Sculpted Love
Two young ladies, born in the shadow of the siege of Metz and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by the Prussians, are swept up in the changing cultural, industrial, medical, scientific and geo-political tides of the late 19th century in France; they act without hesitation on the new empowerment of women, in business and in love. Against this background and the art nouveau of the École de Nancy, a solitary sculptor is drawn into the girls' lives. Twenty years earlier, as the Prussians advanced on Metz in August 1870, a two-horse carriage driven by a gnarled deserter from the Prussian army escapes south towards Nancy. In the rear, a young French entrepreneur is hand-in-hand with a stunningly beautiful young lady speaking German with a coarse accent, pregnant by another man and masquerading as a Countess.
