friendship

Bela and Sebastian by director Nicolas Vanier is a heartwarming story about growing up in the unspoiled nature of the Alps, where time seems to stand still. It probably would have, if the Second World War and the arrival of the Nazis had not intervened in the idyll. The reserved six-year-old Sebastijan grows up here with his grandfather, who by chance leads him to a large white Pyrenean mountain shepherd. Although they share almost the same qualities, such as kindness and benevolence, they are often put to the test by the cruelty of others.
