Mathilde had just become 19 years old by the year 1919. Her future husband, Manech, had embarked on his military service at the Somme battlefields two years earlier. On the battlefield, he met the same fate as millions of other people and was "killed." On the official notification, it is written out completely in black and white. But Mathilde is adamant that she won't believe it. She would be aware if Manech had passed away. She clings to her intuitive hunches with the same tenacity that she would the final shred of hope that connects her to her partner. A former sergeant tries to convince her that Manech passed away in the "no man's land" in a trench known as Bingo Crepescule, along with four other men who were doomed to die from self-inflicted wounds; however, his efforts are fruitless. Mathilde seems unfazed despite the fact that the road ahead of her is littered with challenges. Whoever is willing to go against the odds and test their mettle can achieve anything...
