One of the leaders of the resistance movement, Jebel, killed the German guards and escaped from the international concentration camp. Not long after, Jebier went to Britain to receive a medal from General de Gaulle. However, upon learning that the interim charge in his place, Felix, had been arrested, he parachuted back to his home country by plane that very night to rescue him. After many twists and turns, they still failed to rescue their companions. Felix and his close friend Francois committed suicide by taking poison in prison. Later, Jebel was also arrested, and Mathilde carefully planned to rescue him. While Jebier was recovering from her injuries, Mathilde was captured and the enemy used her daughter as a hostage to force her to confess to her companions, but in the end, she was killed by her companions' guns. The characters in this film are different from the heroic figures in romantic works. Although they fight for the interests of the collective and the nation, they will also yield due to emotional weakness and personal motives. The film has a profound tone and heavy colors. It realistically recreates the hard and cold combat life of the French underground guerrillas during World War II. With a low-key and simple documentary style, it portrays several heroic figures, vividly presenting their isolated and perilous predicaments. It vividly and powerfully expresses the author's reflection on the resistance movement and its era.[Collapse]
