English title: Potatoes.
During World War II, in the Ardennes, which was part of the zone interdite (forbidden zone), people are experiencing hunger due to strict regulations concerning the transportation of food items across its borders. One man decides to try to smuggle some potatoes from outside and use them to grow a new crop.
Comedy which makes for an interesting history lesson, and an entertaining one, too. Even though there is death and the overhanging shadow of starvation, humor sets the tone, in a very down-to-earth manner which never feels forced or improper.
