War of the Buttons
ComedyDrama
For generations, two rival French villages, Longueverne and Velrans, have been at war. But this is no ordinary conflict, for the on-going hostilities are between two armies of young schoolboys. When he is beaten by his father for having lost his buttons, the leader of the Longueverne army, Lebrac, has an idea which will give his side the advantage: next time, he and his brave soldiers will go in battle without their clothes...
VIBE
A charmingly old-fashioned tale of childhood rebellion and escalating village rivalries. It captures the wild, uninhibited spirit of youth, where a simple button can spark an epic, if slightly absurd, war. Pure, unadulterated fun.
