DESERTION, 30min., Luxembourg
Directed by Chantal Lorang
After World War II, a military chaplain remembers the young soldiers who lost their nerve and ran away on the Eastern Front. In military prison he also had to look after Josy Lorang, a Luxembourger who had been forcibly recruited. Josy could no longer endure the Wehrmacht's atrocities at the front and the attacks on the civilian population, deserted and was recaptured and sentenced to death by a court martial. During the last weeks of his life, he regularly wrote to his young wife and parents from prison, confided in the military chaplain and sought strength in his faith.
