Eurochannel presents Chesterfield, the story of a training camp for French women who long to become perfect American wives. Directed by award-winning director Fabrice Cazeneuve, Chesterfield tells a story of romance, drama and dreams. Jeannette, Marie-Thérèse and Mireille married American soldiers. Before crossing the Atlantic to meet their husbands for the first time, they spend four days at Camp Chesterfield where they become friends.

Set in the glorious liberation time after the Nazi occupation of France, Chesterfield portraits a charming scenario where everybody senses a promising future.
