Overview
A young French soldier in World War I is overcome with guilt when he kills a German soldier who, like himself, is a musically gifted conscript, each having attended the same musical conservatory in France. The fact that the incident occurred in war does not assuage his guilt. He travels to Germany to meet the man's family.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on the moral weight of killing in war, following a young soldier's anguished journey across enemy lines to seek forgiveness from the family of the man he killed. It's a film about how conscience transcends nationalism and how shared humanity, even between enemies, can leave wounds that combat cannot inflict.
