The director ofOSS 117, The Redoubtable Or The Artist adapts the tale by Jean-Claude Grumber, which takes place in Poland, in the heart of the Second World War. Here is the official synopsis: “ Once upon a time, in a big wood, there lived a poor woodcutter and a poor woodcutter. The cold, hunger, poverty, and war everywhere around them made their lives very difficult. One day, a poor woodcutter takes in a baby. A baby thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through their woods. Protected whatever the cost, this baby, this little commodity will turn the lives of this woman, her husband, and all those who will cross her destiny, up to the man who threw her from the train, upside down. Their story will reveal the worst as well as the best of men's hearts. » In the vocal casting, we find Jean-Louis Trintignant (his final role), Dominique Blanc, Grégory Gadebois and Denis Podalydès.
