Film Synopsis
In 1914, Madeleine, nicknamed La Madelon, works in her father's café in a small village on the Marne. An attractive young woman, she has no shortage of admirers, including the wealthy Antoine Pichot. But she only has eyes for one man, the good natured Corporal Beauguitte. At the outbreak of war, the latter is obliged to leave his home village and honour his pledge to his country. Fearing that she will never see Beauguitte again, Madeleine sets out to look for him...© James Travers
