La vie et rien d’autre / Life and Nothing But by Bertrand Tavernier (135′)

A year after WWI has ended, Major Dellaplane has the difficult task of identifying and interring fallen anonymous French soldiers. When a buried hospital train yields a fresh cargo of possibly recognizable bodies, Irene and Alice form an unlikely alliance with the Major. The three searchers will have to choose between life in a post-war world stripped of illusions or the seductive self-imprisonment of bitterness and mourning for days, lives and loves gone by.
