Tank (2015)

Synopsis

 

On September 15, 1916, the British were the first to use tanks in an attempt to break through the war of positions during the Battle of the Somme. The deployment of this new weapon meant a hellish experience for both the trench defenders and the tank crew. For Private Otto in his trench as well as for Johny in his tank, all their sentimental concerns come to an end.

 

"Inspired by Pierre Jean Jouve's poem "Le Tank", this film is a free interpretation of the first tank attack during the First World War."
