Sobre IBD

Normandy, 1940’s. In the small town of Marigny, news of the Wehrmacht advance circulates, the continuing trickle of refugees an uncomfortable sign of times to come. As the German Occupation tightens its grip on everyday life, Lucette struggles to suppress her irresistible attraction to a young friend of her husband’s, active in the Resistance. Her daughter has already fallen for Lucien, his charming but feckless brother.Inspired by true life stories of a community under occupation, a poignant drama of conflicting loyalty and love unfolds, as family and friends are irrevocably drawn into the theatre of war. With the advent of D-day, lives are imperilled and relationships tested to the limits of endurance. What will be left for them once the turbulence of war subsides, when the chaos of Liberation finally ushers in a long awaited peace?
