Belleetsebastien
It’s 1943 and Germans are hunting down Resistance fighters in the French Alps where Sébastien, an orphan, lives with his grandfather, a shepherd, and his aunt, a baker. When sheep are found slaughtered, his grandfather and the local villagers believe that a stray dog is responsible. Sébastien finds the dog, names it Belle and they become inseparable. Will Sébastien save Belle and foil the Nazis’ efforts?
