1944. In the countryside near Normandy's beaches, Marie lives with her husband Jérôme. A German outfit's commanding officer is pursuing Marie. She is also being eyed by a French spy working with the Allies as they plan D-Day... Normandy, 1944. Jérôme (Philippe Noiret) is the proud owner of a large country estate, a man who is far more preoccupied with his orchards than with the fate of his country. His wife Marie (Catherine Deneuve) is young, beautiful and bored with country living. She thinks only of starting a new life in the busy hubbub of Paris, so the sudden appearance of Julien, a captain in the Free French Forces, seems to her like the answer to a prayer. Julien's mission is to gather information about the area so that an advance party can knock out a German defence post ahead of the planned Allied Invasion. Unfortunately, a division of German soldiers has chosen this moment to requisition Jérôme's house... (official distributor synopsis)
