Broken Lullaby
Honor Thy Father...And Thy Mother BUT HOW ABOUT OUR ENEMY'S PARENTS? How About His Sweetheart, the Girl We Love?
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A meditative, morally searching drama about guilt and reconciliation across enemy lines, built on the shared humanity between a killer and his victim's family.
A young French soldier in World War I is overcome with guilt when he kills a German soldier who, like himself, is a musically gifted conscript, each having attended the same musical conservatory in France. The fact that the incident occurred in war does not assuage his guilt. He travels to Germany to meet the man's family.
