Without the protection of Abbé Turpin and the schoolteacher Leutellier, the Lulus are now stranded on their own behind the enemy front line. Soon joined by LUce, a pretty young girl separated from her parents, they decide to reach the neutral country of Switzerland by all means possible... they embark on an adventure for which nothing and no one has prepared them!

Like a forgotten package without a name at the bottom of the Christmas tree, no one really knows who this is for.
Filmed with childish simplicity yet set in World War I, this tale of orphans whose friends die one after the other is too infantile for adults and too historical (and dark) for kids.
I guess all that's left is history teachers who want to traumatize their children with a picaresque story transplanted from a graphic novel boujee parents forced their kids to read thinking they were doing them a favor buying them a 'comic book'. If that's not you, maybe look elsewhere?
