Toulouse Quest: A Love Story Parted by War
Overview
Pierre is a soldier who left Toulouse for the war. Now, years later, he is back. His city is in ruins, his home is gone, and Lucie, the woman he loves, never replied to his last letters. He walks through the rubble, looking for a sign that she is still alive.
