Seymour Public Library to show German anti-war film

SEYMOUR - Join us at Seymour Public Library in the lower level auditorium at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 24 to watch an Oscar Nominee movie! 

Light refreshments will be served.

We'll be showing a 2022 German epic anti-war film starring Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, and Daniel Brühl. It is rated R and its duration is 2 hours, 23 minutes.

Summary: The story follows teenagers Paul Bäumer and his friends Albert and Müller, who voluntarily enlist in the German army, riding a wave of patriotic fervor that quickly dissipates once they face the brutal realities of life on the front. Paul's preconceptions about the enemy and the rights and wrongs of the conflict soon crumble. 

However, amid the countdown to armistice, Paul must carry on fighting until the end, with no purpose other than to satisfy the top brass' desire to end the war on a German offensive.
