[woman] Jean?

I don't want you to go.

Please, Adèle, not again.

Village men are enlisted. All of them.

We will go to w*r.

I don't care about the w*r!

And if you don't come back?

What are you saying?
Of course I'll return.

And we have a few weeks before I leave.

Harvest isn't even collected yet.

Don't go, please!

I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't have a choice.

If I hole up like a coward,
gendarmes will be after me.

And I'll go anyway...

but with my hands cuffed.

Come on.

Not that face, love.

I'll be back.

I swear!

You betcha.

Give me your knife!

I want to keep a souvenir.

[Jean] Ow!

I'll cherish it every single night.

All right.

And when I'm back, we'll make that baby.

Hmm.

God willing.

We've been trying for so long...

I've lost hope, my dear Jean.

I'm not 20 anymore.

This time, it'll work.

I'm sure!

[chuckles] I love you, Jean.

Me too, sweetie. More than anything.

Anybody home?

Hello?

[bird's wings flapping]

Anybody home?

[door hinge creaking]

Sorry, ma'am. We didn't want to intrude.

Trooper Verdier.

The quiet one is Trooper Boileau.

Sit down, you look exhausted.

I have nothing to eat.

But I might still have a bottle of booze.

Can't say no to booze!

[cabinet opens, closes]

[pensive music]

We are both going to the next village
to regroup with our battalion.

Krauts delayed us.
They fired at us near the forest.

We yelled that the w*r was over,
but they didn't trust us!

And they got k*lled.
On the day the armistice is signed!

[chuckles] Poor fools!

The w*r is over?

You bet. Hard to believe, huh?

That sick joke lasted for four years.

Four years of total crap!

You didn't know?

[Adèle] No.

[faint w*r drums beating]

That w*r was like hell on Earth.

You can trust me.

[Verdier] Well,
we're just happy to be alive.

And I just lost an eye!

And your head, too!

[both chuckle]

My husband never came back from the front.

Last time I saw him, he was on leave.

About nine months ago.

Sorry for you, missy.

Sincerely.

Well...

we won't trouble you any longer.

We've a long way to go.
