Port of Shadows
“Tender... frankly adult. Filled with almost every emotion known to man”
Down a foggy, desolate road to the port city of Le Havre travels Jean, an army deserter looking for another chance to make good on life. Fate, however, has a different plan for him, as acts of both revenge and kindness render him front-page news.
