JFF- Belle and Sebastian

Dove “Family-Approved” – For Ages 12 and up

Belle & Sebastien

This cinematic, heartwarming tale is set during WWII in the snowy Alps of occupied France, on the border of Switzerland. Sebastian, lonely and dreaming of the day his mother will return from America for him, befriends “the beast” the local farmers are convinced is killing their sheep – an enormous yet gentle sheepdog who quickly becomes the boy’s best friend and protector. With Nazis in the village rooting out the resistance fighters helping Jewish refugees cross the border, Belle and Sebastian’s loyalty – to each other and the village that’s embraced them both – will be put to the test. Among the highest grossing French films of recent time, Belle and Sebastian is a heartwarming tale that will thrill audiences of all ages.

Winner of the Films4Families Youth Jury Award at the Seattle International Film Festival.
