Our Fallen Heroes

Set in 1919, Our Fallen Heroes delves into the aftermath of World War I through the eyes of Paul, a dedicated sculptor. As he travels through villages, he erects memorials that honor the deceased, each name engraved in stone representing a life lost. The narrative takes a poignant turn when he arrives in Sancerre, where the ghosts of war confront him and the community.

This film features a talented ensemble cast, including Jean-Louis Coulloc'h, Jean-Marie Frin, and Patrick Descamps, who bring depth to the story. The exploration of trauma and the struggle to reconcile with the past resonates deeply in a post-war setting. Collectors of drama films will appreciate the thematic weight and emotional storytelling embedded in the narrative, making this a notable addition to collections focused on historical dramas.
