Rachel Plamondon: Postmistress. She reigns over the town of Val Jacob with all the panache of a Madame de Pompadour. From behind her throne, the post office counter at the general store, Rachel Plamondon calls on all the feminine talent she can muster to plot the destiny of this small town.
The Postmistress wryly examines the tensions and fissures of a pre-war community being drawn inexorable toward modern life. Rich in both history and humour, the film turns the spotlight on the proverbial motifs of love, sex and money.
