Her husband heads for the front and is taken prisoner. Vianne is left to survive with a German officer billeted in her home. Her eighteen-year-old sister Isabelle decides to join the French resistance. The story follows the heart breaking story of two sisters trying to survive WWII as best they can, yet fight the Nazis in their own way.
