In fact, this film does not mainly talk about dogs, but tells a series of stories that happened to the people of the French border town invaded by Germany during World War II when they faced the coming of war. There are apparently cold but secretly helping the murdered Jews escape from the French border to Switzerland. German officers secretly give villagers a message for self-salvation. Not his biological grandfather, but he treats little boys better than his biological son.
The best thing about the movie is that it talks about World War II, but it doesn't describe the cruelty of the war. It was only when the dogs led them over the snow-capped mountains to the Swiss border that the two Jewish adults kissed each other and cried with joy touched me. Only then did I remember the concentration camps during World War II, mass murder and so on.
Of course, the little boy's friendship with the dog is not necessarily the most touching part of the movie. When an abused dog met a little boy for the first time, he stood up high and called to his little boy with a bit of hesitation. Slowly it found that this little boy was different from the previous owner, he would not hit it but treat it very well. So inseparable.
In this movie, it feels as if everyone is the protagonist, and everyone has their own story.
