Prisoner of war… An ordeal as old as the world, shared by millions of men during the Second World War, a long complaint of which countless accounts, thousands of sketches, sometimes photos, remain today, but also a film ‘shot’ under the cloak by Frenchmen in a German camp, a single and unique film, made despite enormous risks, with ingenuity that never failed, with a faith as tenacious as hope.
