Life and Nothing But (1989)

Set in October 1920, it tells the story of Major Dellaplane, a man whose job is to find the identities of unknown dead soldiers after World War I. He encounters two women looking for their lost husbands: Irene, an aristocrat, and Alice, a country girl. The movie is a sensitive examination of the deep psychological scars left behind by the Great War, clear of sentiment yet with delicately nuanced irony.
