Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In 1917, during the darkest days of the Great War, Camille (Sylvie Testud) receives an alarming letter from her soldier husband. Disguising herself as a man, she sets off to try and find him. She falls in with a band of deserters who spontaneously perform original pop songs on homemade instruments.

The proudly idiosyncratic critic-turned-director Serge Bozon broke the rules & got raves with this intoxicating, original tour de force, blending the war film with a brightly-colored musical (!). Starring Gallic it-girl Sylvie Testud & winner of the prestigious Prix Jean Vigo for best French debut.
