Love in wartime.

June, 1940: the Wehrmacht descends upon France, sending civilians and soldiers running. Near Orléans, a handful of volunteers ready a desperate resistance.
Among these men is the NCO Henri Dragance, a writer and former antifascist fighter in the Spanish Civil War. Despite his cynical airs and bohemian lifestyle, he is, underneath it all, a fragile, vulnerable man. On the final barricade across the southern routes, he meets one of his biggest fans: Sylvie, a young woman unhappy with her stifling middle-class life. It's love at first sight for two people who seem to have nothing in common.
