Synopsis

In August 1914, a general mobilization puts an end to the quietness of European life. Five people from different countries and backgrounds find themselves in 1918 in the rubble of a trench in a No Man’s Land from the front. In this pocket where fraternization finally settled, the Black, a polyglot, is a federative and entertaining element when tensions revive. Their presence detected, they must again make common cause to get away with a massive bombardment. When comes the end of fightings, they hammer at barbwires, symbol of boundary between people. –Cannes Film Festival
