Synopsis
Suitable for all audiences with a warning
June 1940. France is collapsing and signs the armistice. Amidst the chaos, one man refuses to give in.
Alone against all odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of a dream: freedom. Without an army, without support, without hope.
But with a fierce conviction: France – his France – has not laid down its arms.
He makes one final gamble: to convince the world that the Battle of France is neither over nor lost.
Reality is stubborn, and proves him wrong.
But little by little, resistance fighters operating in the shadows, rebellious school pupils and determined soldiers begin to rally around him in England, France and Africa.
Their faith, their daring and their thirst for freedom defy a course of history that seemed, nevertheless, to have been written in advance.
