The Guardians is a 2017 French movie directed by Xavier Beauvois based on the 1924 novel Les Gardiennes by Ernest Pérochon. France, 1915: Her two sons are away at war, so Hortense and her daughter Solange have to run the farm without male help. She hires Francine, a young orphan, to work in the fields as a maid.
