War · Drama
Director G.W. Pabst
A group of German infantrymen of the First World War live out their lives in the trenches of France. They find brief entertainment and relief in a village behind the lines, but primarily terror fills their lives as the attacks on and from the French army ebb and flow. One of the men, Karl, goes home on leave only to discover the degradation forced on his family by wartime poverty. He returns to the lines in time to face an enormous attack by French tanks.
Think a friend should see this?
Pitch it to your group in one line. They’ll see it next time they’re picking, and you’ll see what they thought.
