Set in Germany and France in the immediate aftermath of World War I, Frantz recalls the mourning period that follows great national tragedies as seen through the eyes of the war's "lost generation." A young German woman whose fiancé was killed befriends a French veteran who shows up in her town, placing flowers on his grave.His presence is met with resistance by the small community and what follows is a surprising exploration of how the characters wrestle with their conflicting feelings - survivor's guilt, anger at one's losses, and the desire for happiness despite everything.
