Les Cerfs-volants
Normandy, 1944. Lino, a young French peasant, hides a wounded German soldier in his barn. Their forced coexistence, born of fear and suspicion, slowly transforms against the backdrop of war's thunder. Lino, accustomed to the silence of the fields, and the soldier, yearning for home, find common ground in tending to the injury and in the shared, meticulous craft of building kites—the very *cerfs-volants* that soar above the emptied meadows. These silent sentinels bear witness to a fragile connection blossoming in a landscape scorched by hatred.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film foregoes epic battles for the intimate drama of glances and unspoken thoughts. The director builds a story on subtle nuances, where every gesture and pause carries more weight than dialogue.
What lingers after the credits is a quiet conviction that humanity can flicker even in total darkness. It’s a testament to compassion as the ultimate act of rebellion — MovieFinder Editorial

Hushed dawns over wheat fields, the whisper of kite paper, tense silence between distant gunfire.
