Justin the Just (2026)
Justin le Juste
Director: Eric Barbier
Cast: Alban Ivanov, Alexandra Lamy, Birane Ba, Thierry Hancisse, Stéphane De Groodt
Set in France during World War I, this moving wartime drama follows Justin, played by Alban Ivanov, an uneducated peasant farmer who is drafted into the French army. With no real understanding of the wider world or the conflict, Justin arrives at the front bewildered by the idea that he must kill men he has never met. Open-hearted and naive, he encounters a German pilot and a Senegalese soldier, breaks free from a prisoner camp, and sparks a mutiny aimed at keeping his fellow soldiers out of danger. Along the way, Justin confronts the senselessness of war, forges lifelong friendships, and becomes an unexpected source of inspiration.
