Discovery Family Film Club: Belle and Sebastian

Based on the beloved children’s book, this heartwarming feature film is set during WWII in the snowy Alps of occupied France, on the border of Switzerland. 

Sebastian, lonely and dreaming of the day his mother will return from America for him, befriends an enormous yet gentle sheepdog who quickly becomes the boy’s best friend and protector. With Nazis in the village rooting out the resistance fighters helping Jewish refugees cross the border, Belle and Sebastian’s loyalty – to each other and the village that’s embraced them both – will be put to the test.

With mesmerising scenery from the Haute Maurienne-Vanoise region of France, Belle and Sebastian is a charming live-action film about the strong bond between a boy and a dog during difficult timesthat will captivate audiences of all ages.
