Nora is a young housewife and mother, living in a quaint little village with her husband and their two sons. The Swiss countryside is untouched by the major social upheavals the movement of 1968 has brought about. Nora’s life is not affected either; she is a quiet person who is liked by everybody – until she starts to publicly fight for women’s suffrage, which the men are due to vote on in a ballot on February 7, 1971.

World Cup #5 Group B: Switzerland
The Divine order is a pretty nice made feminism drama. It’s simple and doesn’t is to smart with its messages but I doesn't want to be. Its exactly what it wants to be. The characters are lovely and the perfomaces very solid.
