In\u00a01919, Mathilde is 19 years old. Two years earlier, her fianc\u00e9 Manech left for the front on the Somme. Like millions of others, he is declared \u2018killed in action\u2019. It is written in black and white on the official correspondence. However Mathilde refuses to accept this fact. If Manech were dead, she would know it. She holds to this intuition as a last thread that still connects her to her lover. An old sergeant may tell her how Manech is killed in a no man\u2019s land of a trench called Bingo Crepuscule, in company of four other men, condemned to death for self mutilation, but it doesn\u2019t matter\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Mathilde refuses to let go of the thread. She clings to it with blind faith and launches off into a veritable counter inquest. From false hopes and certitudes, she untangles, little by little what happened to Manech and his four comrades. The path is full of dead ends, but that doesn\u2019t worry Mathilde. Anything is surmountable for those who dare to defy the Fates\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
