This emotional series tells the story of four women during the First World War. We thus find Audrey Fleurot in the role of a prostitute who works in a brothel, Camille Lou who is a nurse, Julie de Bona who embodies a good sister as well as Sofia Essaidi who takes over the car factory from her husband who has gone to the front. .

The latter revealed to us that she had felt unwell on the set. “There was a moment when things were not going well physically, I felt a little unwell”, she told us, explaining the reasons: “The corset squeezed me, the shooting was long”. In addition, playing in this series has not always been easy and the actress and singer confided “I had times when the emotion I had on set didn’t go away when the camera stopped and so many times I continued to cry even though the camera was no longer filming”.

Sofia Essaidi is the actress who had to wear a corset the longest and if she passed out because of it, it also served her for her role. Indeed, if it admits: “It was super difficult to wear the corset and the outfits, they were quite tight”she told us: “However, it helped me with my character’s outfit”. Indeed, she says: “After 4 to 5 hours of filming, you want to sag but the corset reminded me that I had to stand up straight”.

In addition, it allowed him to understand what the women of the time lived on a daily basis since they wore them from morning to evening. Whether, “it was not easy to live”, so she never wanted to take it off. She was completely in character, that of Caroline Dewitt, when she had it on her.
