One soldier eventually suffered what appeared to have been a heart attack; he died when he was beaten after being forced to do push-ups while wearing a gas mask.

As a patriarch, teacher and companion, Marielle's Sainte Colombe is a stolid and laconic figure, and it is only through listening to his sounds (played by Jordi Savall), the cries and tears made by his viola, that we get to know...
