During the Second World War, a German officer stays with an old man and his niece. A lover of France and its culture, the officer visits them every evening to discuss his various thoughts. But the residents are resolute in their silence. Like Vercors' book, which was published clandestinely in 1941, Melville's first film was conceived under identical conditions, without the authorization of the CNC. "It was the first time we'd tried to shake the omnipresent, dictatorial union structures of French production."
1949 film adapted from Vercors' short story by Jean-Pierre Melville.
Running time 86 minutes
