The Sentence
1997, French. Directed by Mauro Losa.
A beat-up camper approaches a snow-covered mountain military check point. A pale sun is rising as a prelude to a chilly morning. The passengers are two old people who are trying to avoid the national draft of their grandson. They hide the kid in a coffin, pretending he's dead. But the commander discovers the young deserter.
