What happens

Le Moulin des Andes (titre chilien : La fruta mordida) est un film franco-chilien réalisé au Chili par Jacques Rémy entre 1943 et 1945 avec un groupe de Français exilés pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Pendant cinquante ans, il a été considéré comme perdu, voire inconnu, jusqu'à ce qu'une copie soit exhumée en 1995. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
