june 1940. a the german army invades france whole family flee through the country . it may remind you of the setting for rené clément jeux interdits . it quite the same save that you feel not much sympathy for the character . the mother ( emmanuel béart ) and her child flee and meet yvan ( gaspard ulliel ) and 16 and who settle sort of a male authority . but all of them be nothing but wanderer ( egarés ) . so what the hook . well this be french cinema and that be the kind most film critic leniently praise precisely for wander . you have get a storyline lead nowhere and character discover nothing so that nothing important happens . ah but the picture be nice and there a little sex to thank you for wait . then it over and you wonder why you wander into this theatre . too late to wonder and you have already forget everything but you know why people go to see pop corn movie represent they forget everything right away but they have the thrill .
