How the French

resistance to steal back their national treasure.
SYNOPSIS:
Jean-Marc is
nurturing his first decent Bordeaux vintage in a decade when the German army
invades France in June 1940. His decision not to flee with his wife and
children will haunt him throughout the war, but when he loses his wine farm to
the occupiers and is forced to hide in his neighbour’s cave cellars, the
opportunity to join the maquis and retaliate is irresistible. Amongst his new
comrades is the enigmatic Monique and their journey is one of bravery,
unexpected romance and eventual tragedy, leaving Jean-Marc out for revenge.
