Réfractaire (2009) -- Réfractaire is a reflection about commitment forced by the impossible choice which young men faced in their twenties: either agree to go to war on the front line, risking their lives firing on their allies, or bury themselves for months or even years in the cold and humidity of the iron mines? With the anguish of knowing that their parents would be deported. The film tries to decipher the mechanisms which lead to resistance, which finds it’s roots in the family “karma”.
