MHz Choice to Debut the Whimsical French Limited Series Nona and her Daughters
Valérie Donzelli both acts in and makes her television directorial debut with Nona.

The series explores both motherhood as well as family feminism. The female-led production also includes a chorus of male roles--the comical doctor, the devoted midwife, the clumsy secret lover, the unstable researcher, and the baffled husband.
