Le Dernier Feu (The Last Fire)

A lone American cavalry soldier, Private Jack Morrow, takes shelter in a dilapidated French villa. His unit has gone missing during a reconnaissance mission in the dense forests nearby. Jack, ordered to stay behind and scout the area tomorrow, is left with only his thoughts, a cigarette, and the memory of John, a French partisan fighter with whom he shared a fleeting but intense connection weeks earlier.

Alone, Jack strips off his uniform shirt, standing in the dusk-lit room, half-bathed in moonlight, smoking slowly. The curves of his body, the tension in his shoulders, the vulnerability of solitude. He tries to sleep but ends up playing a single note on the broken piano. A haunting French lullaby hums in his mind—John’s voice, remembered.
