The custom of bathing the dead has been depicted in a number of films. In the 1995 film "Braveheart", a young William Wallace watches as women bathe the bodies of his father and brother, who were killed in battle against English troops during the 13th century. The 2009 film "The White Ribbon" depicts the washing of a deceased housewife in a Northern German village just before World War I. In the film "A Midnight Clear" (1992), set in the Battle of the Ardennes in World War II, a small group of soldiers are able to take a brief respite from the war when they procure a bath tub and heat up some water. After all have bathed, they wash the body of a comrade who was recently killed while trying to help a unit of German soldiers.
