Original title is Un long dimanche de fiançailles, cute because it is too long. Watched this today. A drama, and good one at it. More serious and not as sureal as “Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain”

The film begin at early 20th century France, right after the war against German, the viewer being told about five condemned soldiers who are going to executed due to “voluntary mutilation” (actually they “just” shot their hand with the reason behind why they do it varied for each of the soldier), the youngest of five being Manech who are being engaged with his fiance Mathilde.

Instead of being executed by getting shot, they were thrown away into no mans land (battle area between two side) and their death is yet to be told in the movie.

The scene change its focus into Mathilde who just received news about this, she was a bit disappointed, but still has hope with her, because she still believe that her fiancée was not dead. From there, she investigated about the status of his fiancée (wattmeter he deceased or not) and searched for him at the same time.

The film do has a number of characters and get a bit to complex at a time, so one can get rather confused. But all in all, it is a great movie (I especially love the cinematograph) and the ending is kind of sweet (not necessarilly happy, but that would be telling)
