A farmer and his family's grieving is cut short when a German battalion is crossing the Belgian countryside to invade France. While many of the villagers have fled for the safety and security of France, the farmer and many others stayed back, believing that the Germans would be civil and moral towards civilians. Little did they know that the battalion commander does not follow the same rules of engagement as his superiors, and the villagers are left with the difficult decision to flee and survive or stay and fight.
This is a unique World War I movie. It is a short war movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes. The story starts slowly but intensifies quickly, slowing down intermittently until the end. The story does not give a lot of backstory to any characters or elaborate on the war situation. The action is limited but engaging. The movie is excellent for anyone who enjoys all World War movies, but it might not be for everyone. It's definitely a stream when looking for a short, unique war movie.
