In this lushly shot film, we are taken to WWII-era France where the US Army’s 442nd All Japanese-American Regimental Combat Team have engaged the Germans. We follow two soldiers who have been split off from their main force as they seek refuge in the woods of Bruyères only to find themselves in the home of a French widow. Notions of identity and national loyalty collide as a series of strange parallels create a twisting-turning edge-of-the-seat story, all of which is really brought home by impressive production design and convincing period-details.
