In the midst of World War II, a group of men and women confronts chaos and oppression in a Nazi-occupied France. The story focuses on a series of mass arrests of French citizens who are accused of collaborating with the resistance or simply being suspected of challenging the Nazi regime. These prisoners are taken to a concentration camp, where the atmosphere is tense and distrust is present in every corner.
Among the characters are an idealistic lawyer, a brave nurse, and several ordinary men who, unwittingly, find themselves trapped in a brutal system that denies them a fair trial. The film delves into the struggles and sacrifices of these individuals as they attempt to maintain their dignity and humanity amidst a machinery that seeks to strip them of their identity.
As the story unfolds, the complexities of war are revealed: the moral dilemmas, betrayal, and solidarity that emerge in such an oppressive environment. Tension escalates when a trial is planned that seems designed to condemn the accused from the outset, exploring how fear and propaganda can distort the truth.
With a focus on the horrors of war and the impunity that the system can grant to the executioners, this film invites reflection on justice, resistance, and the human spirit in dark times.
