The 'Coward' soundtrack is unique in its combination of an original score with historical archival music. The songs performed by the actors were actually written and performed by soldiers in the trenches, and were dug up from the archives. Accompanied by a selection of film clips, Lukas Dhont, Valentin Hadjadj and Pierre-Marie Dru discuss the working process and creative decisions that form the backbone of 'Coward's' soundtrack.
