Regret” begins with Aurelie, a 50 year old, unmarried woman who runs an entire farm and manages her workforce without any desire or need for outside assistance or even contact. When she is tasked with watching her neighbor’s children, a change occurs in Aurelie. She is forced to play a feminine role, breaking out her aprons, sewing, and telling the children stories so they can fall asleep. Aurelie is softened to the point where she cries when the children leave because she has realized what she has missed by remaining unmarried, and carries a regret in her heart.
