Mai 1940. Pour fuir l'invasion allemande, les habitants d'un petit village du nord de la France partent sur les routes, comme des millions de Français. Ils emmènent avec eux dans cet exode un enfant allemand, dont le père opposant au régime nazi est emprisonné à Arras pour avoir menti sur sa nationalité. Libéré dans le chaos, celui-ci se lance à la recherche de son fils, accompagné par un soldat écossais cherchant à regagner l'Angleterre... (Pathé Films)

I’m quite lucky with French war movies. Each time, I’m surprised by an interesting story from the World War II that I wouldn’t ever manage to think of. Here, for example, I thought it was interesting that they are telling the life stories of farmers from the north of France who are fleeing to the south, and since the north is closer to Germany and Belgium, beer is drunk quite a lot throughout the movie. For example, the Scottish soldier didn’t even hesitate, it was clear that he likes to wet his whistle from time to time. You generally don’t get to see these sorts of moments in French movies and so I found it really charming. Later, I was quite sad about what war does to people, but that could have been expected. I was also surprised by how much adults are willing to do for children. To sum up, I must say that I got another solid French denouement, which the French can’t seem to manage without.
