From Institut Français de HCM Ville:

Come to the film screening “Belle and Sébastien” (French, 2013, 104’). The screening is part of Francophone Film Festival 2016.

Director: Nicolas Vanier
Casting: Félix Bossuet, Tchéky Karyo, Margaux Châtelier

Adapted from the famous French tv series, the film fascinates its audience with poetic shots of this wonderful friendship between a young boy and a dog.

“Our story takes place high up in the Alps.
There where the snow is immaculate, where chamois chase marmots, where the summits touch the clouds.
High up in a peaceful village – until the day the Germans arrive.
It’s the story of a lonely boy and a wild dog.
The story of Sébastien who tames Belle.
It’s the adventure of an indestructible friendship.
It’s the extraordinary tale of a resourceful and appealing child in the middle of World War Two.
It’s the odyssey of a little boy searching for his mother, of an old man searching for his past, of a member of the Resistance searching for love, of a young woman looking for adventure, of a German lieutenant searching for forgiveness.
It’s the life of Belle and Sébastien.”
