description: In August 1914, in German-occupied France, 12 year old Amelie stumbles across an injured British soldier, Captain James Winter, in the woods. Throughout the first winter of the Great War her family keep him hidden from the enemy, until early in 1915 when James disappears. Seventeen years later, his son comes to the village to find out what happened to his father. Now the secrets of the past look certain to come out, although there are those intent on preventing them from doing so.
