IMDB
A young girl (maybe 6 years old) is orphaned in a Nazi bombing of a bridge in the French countryside. She goes to find her dead dog, which is thrown off of the bridge by a woman, and meets Michel. Michel brings her home with him, and she starts living there. The two children start a cemetery for dead animals in a rundown mill.
This movie deals with some extremely heavy topics: death, the religious ceremonies surrounding death, WWII, the innocence of children. I highly recommend seeing this, it’s an amazing and powerful film. One of the best, although it is extremely depressing.
10/10
