Help, help
 
I have a work colleague here who's trying to track down a film.
 
He thinks it might be called 'Butterfly' but that might be a red herring.
He thinks it's Finnish or Scandinavian.
It's  bout a Finnish woman (perhaps) who takes in a French and a German soldier during the war. It's subtitled and none of them have a language in common, so their subtitled conversations are full of misunderstandings though they somehow manage to communicate.
The men fight, one dies (he thinks), the other leaves and 9 months later she has twins.
Ring any bells with anyone?
 
Thanks

Oh for heaven's sake.
As soon as I post this, he finds it (he told me he'd been looking for years.)
*rolls eyes*
Turns out to be Norwegian and called 'The Butterfly'

Nope, turns out that's not it, he found 'The Diving Bell and the butterfly'
 
The search is still on.

Nurse I have been informed it's the Cuckoo, if the short link does not take you the long one will.

He's cock-a-hoop about it and has rushed off to Amazon to buy it.
Thanks again. Smiling

I asked about it on another forum I use and someone had the answer I will pass along the thanks.
