The Dog Who Stopped the War

(1984)Directed by André Melançon92 min · GAdventure, Drama, Comedy, Family
“War, peace, love and honor...in the world of children”

At the start of the Christmas holidays, ten kids who can't stop playing soldiers decide to spend two weeks in a war of their own, fought with shields, wooden swords and snowballs. Luc (Cédric Jourde) and Sophie (Marie-Pierre A. D'Amour) are among them, and the two sides keep growing. André Melançon films the game as a fight that swallows every day of the break, and it starts to matter more than anything else in their lives.
