Details: They are civilians and yet the army rules their lives. By marrying a soldier, these women inherited a way of life that they had not necessarily chosen. When her husband joined the Air Force, the director discovered a singular world, entirely subordinated to the needs of the army to the detriment of the family. Her film draws a powerful portrait of the difficult existence of military spouses. Isolated, often alone, subject to successive moves, they have no control over their lives. Despite the courageous fight of activist Lucie Laliberté, who defied the threats of the military establishment during the 1980s, wives are still just as vulnerable. They are the first collateral victims of an army which, without their sacrifices and their work behind the scenes, could not carry out its operations. Efficiency for which they pay dearly.
