This is a very moving movie after watching it!
The heroine lost her parents in a car accident when she was a child, and grew up with her uncle and aunt. She suffered from spinal disease and became a lame man! Such a tragic childhood is full of joy because of his appearance! It should be said that Mathilde's teenage years became very happy because of having a lover!
But the war is on, and his lover is on the front lines! On the front line, he was tried and sentenced to death by a military court for self-mutilation (in order to reunite with her as soon as possible), and was finally thrown to the forefront of the position as cannon fodder, and has since lost news.
Just as the car accident took her parents away, the war took everything from her again! Intuition tells her that her lover is not dead, just waiting for her silently in a place she doesn't know! From the day she got the news of her lover's death, she began a long journey to find her lover! In the process, she met many of his former comrades, enemies, their families, and lovers! She found that many people, like her, were taken away by the war! But she never gave up hope!
After bizarre twists and turns, even some incredible process, Mathilde finally received the message that he was still alive, and she dressed herself very beautifully to meet her lover! He is disappointed! But he's still healthy and they're reunited again! She sat on the stool with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She looked at him quietly like this. At this moment, we all understood what love is and what happiness is! (I believe that the expressions of many viewers at the moment are the same as Mathilde)

There are many plots in the film that are very touching, as is the fate of the five death row prisoners!
War and peace, this is the eternal theme! But this film brought me more love and affection. Although the mother who lost her son knew that the person lying on the bed was the one who secretly changed his son's number plate, she still said with tears in her eyes. "I am your mother", on the way to see Manette, Mathilde's aunt suddenly burst into tears, because she did not believe he was still alive, and persuaded Mathilde to forget him early. I am deeply remorseful for not giving Mathilde strong support!

In addition to being moved, there is also French humor, Uncle Mathilde's stone road, the kitchen thief who can always get food on the front line...

This is really a very worth watching movie, although I messed up some of my plans today to watch it, but I feel it is still worth it!

    Hunger, panic, war, corpse, when the world has become like this, it may be easier to die than to live. You can only rely on the only faith, the desire to survive, and all kinds of luck to be saved. The two people who may have been separated from life and death can only rely on faith to pursue the director. Kindly gave a happy ending and maybe more facts ended at the beginning or became Meng Jiangnu and spent her life

    This kind of script can only be made like this by Genet... The movie is very interesting, but maybe it is because the director has a technical pursuit and ignores the aesthetic performance a little... By the way, Tatu's acting is really good~ Uriel's acting is also tres bien~

  • Narrator: Mathilde leans back against her chair, folds her hands in her lap, and looks at him. In the sweetness of the air, in the light of the garden, Mathilde looks at him. She looks at him... She looks at him...
