English title: Weekend at Dunkirk
In 1940, France is suffering heavy German bombing; in a beach near Dunkirk, Sgt. Maillat tries to get embarked to England, but this proves very difficult. He and his friends spend their time protecting themselves from the bombs and making small talk; Maillat meets a young woman in a house in town and tries to convince her to abandon the place.
Realistic portrayal of a specific moment and place in World War II. The film is very well directed, and, while not possessing a strong storyline (it is basically a series of episodes), it is enjoyable.
