Description

Zwei junge Menschen verlieben sich, aber der Krieg bringt sie auseinander: Das ist die Geschichte von Léon und Louise - die Geschichte einer großen Liebe, gelebt gegen die ganze Welt. Sie beginnt mit ihrer Begegnung im Ersten Weltkrieg in Frankreich an der Atlantikküste, doch dann trennt sie ein Fliegerangriff mit Gewalt. Sie halten einander für tot, Léon heiratet, Louise geht ihren eigenen Weg - bis sie sich 1928 zufällig in der Pariser Métro wiederbegegnen. Ein Paar, das gegen alle Konventionen an seiner Liebe festhält und ein eigensinniges, manchmal unerhört komisches Doppelleben führt.Summer 1918. The First World War is drawing to a close when Leon Le Gall, a French teenager from Cherbourg who has dropped out of school and left home, falls in love with Louise Janvier. Both are severely wounded by German artillery fire, are separated, and believe each other to be dead. Briefly reunited two decades later, the two lovers are torn apart again by Louise's refusal to destroy Leon's marriage and by the German invasion of France. In occupied Paris during the Second World War, where Leon struggles against the abhorrent tasks imposed upon him by the SS, and the wilds of Africa, where Louise confronts the hardships of her primitive environment, they battle the vicissitudes of history and the passage of time for the survival of their love.
