Andrée is fun, cheeky, and daring; Sylvie, more traditional and shy, quickly finds herself irrevocably attracted to her. However, behind her rebellious attitude, Andrée must contend with a fervent Catholic family whose rigid traditions and oppressive environment are determined to crush any expression of individuality. Together, they forge a path to freedom from the conventions of their time and stifling expectations, unaware of the tragic price they will have to pay for their freedom and intellectual and existential ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Inseparables\u003c\/em\u003e recounts the experiences that underpinned the revolt and work of the great French philosopher: her emancipation and the antagonism between intellectuals and conservatives.
