Plot

Flanders tells the story of a group of young men, including local farmer Demster, from rural northern France, who go to fight, with brutal consequences, in a war in an unnamed Middle Eastern country. Juxtaposing rural images of their home village against the savage and unrelenting landscape of battle, the film charts familiar Dumont territory offering a unique vision against the backdrop of an unconventional love story between Demester and his fragile, sometime girlfriend, Barbe.
