Beleaguered troops become a theater troupe in Coward trailer

Described as “an epic, intimate journey of youthful self-discovery through love, art, and survival,” the official synopsis for Coward reads: 

Pierre (Macchia) arrives at the front lines as a young soldier eager to find his footing in a world consumed by violence. Everything changes when he meets Francis (Campagne), a kindred spirit whose vision of staging a front-line theatre show unlocks a world Pierre never knew existed. What begins as a fleeting escape from the harsh reality of the trenches soon blossoms into a tender, emotional love story, anchored by the undeniable chemistry of breakout actors Emmanuel Macchia and Valentin Campagne. As the world burns around them, their stage becomes a sanctuary of innocence and devotion. Coward beautifully explores the fine line between fear and fortitude for soldiers in search of a promised glory, ultimately asking: when the world demands brutality, is walking away for love the truest act of bravery?

Coward opens in theaters on December 25.
