The uplifting TV movie <\/span>En Garde<\/i><\/b> trumpets a band of valiant-yet-fragile sisters-in-arms.\u00a0 A group of eight women, all victims of domestic or sexual abuse, enroll in an ingenious form of group therapy \u2014 fencing \u2014 in an attempt to free themselves from the trauma they’ve experienced and heal some very deep wounds… because, as we all know, the body never forgets. We follow Tamara, a young woman with an inclination toward self-mutilation; the ever-obliging Nicole, who lives alone with her guard dog and doesn’t like to be touched; and especially Lucie.\u00a0 Lucie has recently packed up her 6-year-old son, fled her violent husband and moved to another town. But she still sleeps with a knife under her pillow and trembles at the sound of footsteps outside her door. Lost and afraid on their own, these women form a bond, release their silent rage, and support one another as, one by one, they each face their own demons.<\/span><\/p>\n
