French title – “Mères Et Filles” / English title – “Hidden Diary”
This is not a direct translation of the French title into English. Although the hidden diary (title “Lost Diary” would be better) is the central element of the story, the overall driving aspect of the plot is the relationship between mothers and daughters. Therefore, I rate the actual English title used as Poor and I would use “Mothers And Daughters” as the English title.
Loss and discovery appears to be the theme of “Mères Et Filles”. Loss and discovery of life. Loss and discovery of relationship. Loss and discovery of truth. It is Louise’s (Grandmother) accidently lost and unexpectedly rediscovered diary that holds the key to the flawed relationship between Martine (Mother) and Audrey (Daughter) and Martine’s memories of Louise. The plot advances through the showing of Louise’s life as written in the diary and the impact the diary has on those who read it. When Martine finally learns her mother’s story, she realizes how mistaken she was in the thoughts she had about Louise and how this lifetime error affected her relationship with Audrey. The lost diary reveals the grandmother and returns her to her daughter. Now Martine and Audrey can reestablish a relationship built on the truth. Loss has turned into a life found.
