What happens
À l'aube du troisième jour est un film franco-grec réalisé par Claude Bernard-Aubert et sorti en 1963. Les habitants de Praxos, village de montagne dans un pays occupé, organisent à leur façon la résistance à l'oppresseur. Face aux représailles, ils décident que toutes les heures un homme traversera le pont qui est la seule voie de ravitaillement de la population. L'action, qui entraîne la mort de tous ceux qui y participent, se prolonge jusqu'à l'aube du troisième jour. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
