War of the Buttons

War of the Buttons

Directed by Christophe Barratier
20111hr 40min

In a quaint village in occupied France, a fierce battle unfolds not between soldiers, but between rival kid gangs led by the courageous Lebrac. As the young leader orchestrates a playful war filled with mischief and camaraderie, a deeper threat looms in the shadows. When a Jewish girl, whom Lebrac harbors feelings for, becomes endangered by the sinister Nazi sympathizers lurking in their midst, the stakes are raised to a whole new level.

As the whimsical war games take a serious turn, the village is forced to confront the harsh realities of their war-torn world. "War of the Buttons" weaves a tale of innocence lost, bravery found, and the enduring power of friendship in the face of adversity. Will Lebrac and his band of pint-sized warriors rise to the occasion and protect their own, or will they crumble under the weight of the escalating conflict? Join this band of fearless youngsters on a heartwarming journey that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you cheering for the underdogs till the very end.
