Synopsis

Isabelle and Vianne are sisters trying to survive and resist Nazi-occupation in France. Vianne is the older of the two. She lives in the village and must protect her daughter from invading German soldiers taking up key positions in rural areas. Isabelle is the younger sibling. She lives in the city and is recklessly risking her life for the Resistance. Set during World War II, both women embark on different struggles that demonstrate their resilience and commitment to their causes. While the danger from the occupying German forces is all around, both sisters must make terrifying decisions in order to protect what they love.
