In Coward, Pierre arrives at the front in 1916 as a new soldier, driven to prove himself in battle. He meets Francis, who tries to lift the troops’ spirits with improvised shows. As the war relentlessly rages on, both men attempt to escape reality, if only for a moment.
At Cannes Series 2026, Coward (directed by Lukas Dhont) was honored with the Best Actor award. Coward has also been selected to represent Belgium at the Oscars 2027. This is the third time a film by Dhont has been accorded this honour.
