Heroes (Le Vent des Peupliers)

Work:: Heroes (Le Vent des Peupliers) (S1269406721)

Heroes is set in 1959. Gustave, Philippe and Henri are residents of a French Military Hospital. Meeting every morning on their quiet terrace, Gustave, Philippe and Henri bicker and tease each other as they reflect on their lives. Looking over the cemetery to the poplars beyond, they dream of escape. Will today be the day they finally make it to Indochina or perhaps only as far as the top of the hill?
