October 1941. Eighteen months into France’s occupation by German troops, young Communist members of the Resistance shoot dead an officer of the German Army. In retaliation, Hitler demands the deaths of 150 Frenchmen, as ‘retribution’. The targets are to be mostly young men believed to share the assassins’ political convictions. Most of these men are taken from an internment camp for opponents of the occupation; a 35-year-old French rural administrator is ordered to select the victims. Although the parish priest appeals to their conscience and moral sensibilities, both the German military and their French helpers slavishly follow their orders…
This historic, conversational, charmingly romantic and political drama about German war crimes which is set in a summer in the city of Nantes during the Vichy Regime (1940-1944) and the German occupation of France in 1941 where one crime instigates irrevocable crimes against humanity, is impelled and reinforced by it's cogent narrative structure, efficient continuity, variegated characters and the commendable acting performances by actor Sébastien Accart, French actors Marc Barbé and Léo Paul Salmain and German actors Ulrich Matthes and Jacob Matschenz. A literary, biographical, illuminating and virtuous homage.IMDB Reviewer
