One of the leaders of the resistance, Jebier, killed a German guard and escaped from an international concentration camp. Shortly thereafter, Jebier went to England to receive an honor from General de Gaulle, but upon learning that his temporary replacement, Felix, had been captured, he took a plane back to his country overnight to rescue him. After many twists and turns, they were ultimately unable to save their companions, and Felix and his close friend Francois committed suicide in prison by poisoning. Later, Jebier was also captured, and Mathilde carefully planned his rescue. However, during Jebier's recovery, Mathilde was captured and the enemies used her daughter as a hostage to force her to betray her companions, but in the end, she died at the hands of her comrades. The characters in this film differ from the heroes in romantic literature; although they fight for collective and national interests, they can also succumb to emotional weakness and personal motives. The film has a solemn tone, heavy colors, and realistically portrays the harsh and brutal life of the French underground resistance during World War II. With a low-key and straightforward documentary style, it shapes several heroic figures and vividly showcases their isolated and perilous predicaments. The film also employs various artistic methods to powerfully express the author's reflections on the resistance movement and its era. It was officially released in mainland China, and the performances of the male and female leads were quite eye-catching.
