The Movie 

‘…a handsomely crafted, quietly affecting period drama… Ceasefire may appear to cover familiar territory, but Courcol makes a convincing case that the period still has tales to yield and lessons to be taught. His film is sincere and respectable but also ultimately moving in its theme of individual lives changed forever by global conflicts.’
– Screendaily

‘In the early 1920s, Georges Laffont (Romain Duris), traumatised by the horrific trench warfar, decides to leave his life behind and travel to West Africa into the vast territories of Upper Volta in the company of Diofo, artist and also survivor of the Great War. From village to village, Georges uses Diofo’s talents as a griot to recruit the villagers as labour for plantations in Ghana.

But his adventure leads him to a dead-end, and he comes back to Paris where his brother Marcel (Grégory Gadebois), a war invalid, lives with their mother’s. After the war in Europe, life went out without him.
Georges will desperately try to find his place, with the help of Hélène (Céline Sallette), a sign language teacher with whom he will have a tumultuous relationship, and his family, that he selfishly left behind.

He will finally attempt to heal their wounds, and his.’
