A circle of small-town youths in France come of age in this drama from acclaimed writer-director Bruno Dumont. At its core is the relationship between teen tramp Barbe (Adélaïde Leroux) and farmhand Demester (Samuel Boidin) -- who sleeps with Barbe but shows no feelings for her. Both of their lives will change, however, as Demester is sent off to war, where his hellish experiences are rivaled only by Barbe's own terrible turn of events at home.
