Maudite soit la guerre (French: Damn the War) is a 1914 Belgian silent anti-war film directed and scripted by Alfred Machin, starring Baert.
The film shows how war destroys love and friendship through the story of two friends obliged to fight each other as pilots in the Air Force of their respective (unnamed) countries.
[1] Adolphe, a student pilot, is training at the aviation school of a neighbouring land, where he is staying at the house of his friend Sigismond.
Adolphe makes several successful missions, destroying in particular a number of gas balloons, until Sigismond attacks his plane and forces him to land.
Lieutenant Maxime, who had witnessed Sigismond's death, visit his parents to pay tribute to their son.
