A timelessly elegant love story by French filmmaker Francois Ozon, Frantz recalls the mourning period following the First World War through the melancholic eyes of the war’s “lost generation.” In a small German town, Anna (Paula Beer) mourns daily at the grave of her fiancé, Frantz, killed during trench warfare. One day, she spies a mysterious young Frenchman (Pierre Niney) laying flowers at Frantz’s grave. Grasping for a shared connection to her lost love, Anna welcomes Adrien into her life, their bond of sorrow propelling a surprising and haunting tale of guilt and forgiveness, eros and thantos, as two lost young people struggle to escape from the shadow of death and war. Inspired by Ernst Lubitsch’s 1932 film Broken Lullaby, Frantz is the story of unrequited love and passion, both between two individuals and between two nations at the core of the imperiled European Union experiment.
