A Hero's Choice (DVD)

Set during World War II, somewhere in Eastern Europe. A German soldier is found dead near a village. Ten of the most prominent townspeople, including the priest (Harvey Keitel), must find the culprit, or they will all be shot by the Nazis the following morning. There's no way to find the guilty one, but there's Ipu (Gerard Depardieu), the madman of the village. A grand dinner at the priest's house is organised and Ipu is invited as the guest of honour. He is promised a hero's funeral if he claims responsibility and agrees to die in their place. Ipu must decide and time is running out.
