En långvarig förlovning utspelar sig i Frankrike mot slutet av första världskriget, dels på slagfältet i Somme, dels i Paris. Det är en berättelse om Mathildes hoppfulla och outtröttliga sökande efter sin fästman, som uppges saknad i kriget under tveksamma omständigheter. Filmen baseras på Sébastien Japrisots roman "Den ödesdigra söndagen"./bio.nu

English: From the director and star of "Amelie" (Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Audrey Tautou) comes a very different love story, "A Very Long Engagement," based on the acclaimed novel by Sebastien Japrisot. The film is set in France near the end of World War I in the deadly trenches of the Somme, in the gilded Parisian halls of power, and in the modest home of an indomitable provincial girl. It tells the story of this young woman's relentless, moving and sometimes comic search for her fiancée, who has disappeared./imdb.com
