Synopsis:

The film starts by a visit to bucolic Normandy before the events. This peaceful atmosphere is shattered by Operation Overlord, minutely described in the second part of the documentary. The landing on D-Day and the ensuing battles and bombings martyr the peaceful area giving the earth thousands of body instead of seeds. In the last part, the dreadful aftermath of the steel storm is shown both with sympathy for the victims and hope for the future, since all these sacrifices, whether military or civilians, have not been in vain.

This extraordinary documentary is a moving and elegiac account of the tragic effects on coastal Normandy of the D-Day landing and the ensuing battles. A great tribute to enormous sacrifices.
