Plot
In a modest market garden in the South of France, a woman raises her seven children alone. They all work hard alongside hired labour and are exploited by the farm owner, who is her lover and the father of the children, an unfeeling and demanding man who lives on a nearby estate with his legally married wife. Through her unconditional love, the mother strives to preserve the world of her children. She would rather bring them up in the country than in the town, without resources.

gollark: I mean that just for a human-livable environment you don't need to actually simulate, say, particle interactions, at all.
gollark: You don't need to simulate things *exactly*, which helps.
gollark: So the universe's magic anti-paradox feature is forced to calculate it for you, or this generates some sort of really unlikely failure mode in your computing system.
