In 1919, Mathilde was 19 years old. Two years earlier, her fiancé Manech left for the front at the Somme. Like millions of others he was "killed on the field of battle." It's written in black and white on the official notice. But Mathilde refuses to believe it. If Manech had died, she would know. She hangs on to her intuition as tightly as she would onto the last thread of hope linking her to her lover. A former sergeant tells her in vain that Manech died in the no man's land of a trench named Bingo Crepescule, in the company of four other men condemned to die for self-inflicted wounds.

Well Done Movie - 5 out of 5 (11/3/2005)
This was a very, very well done movie. Every aspect of this movie was very good: video, sounds, acting, directing, and script. The story, though very similar to the 1957 movie called "Paths of Glory", this one just blows it away on every level. The characters are three-dimensional that make the movie very enjoyable to watch. One can empathize, sympathize, and get angry with these characters. It is a story of five soldiers whose limits of endurance are snapped, while participating in the tre
