She was once a dutiful and obedient daughter, but now she is a fierce young woman who refuses to let men and war dictate her path.
After a childhood of hardship and loneliness, Marie Cotten is desperate for a fresh start as she leaves her Breton hamlet for the bustling town of Quimper. Her blissful new life is shattered when WWII erupts, threatening to destroy everything she worked for and loves. She must choose between joining the French Resistance or becoming a Breton collaborator. One wrong decision means death or worse.
