The Line

Synopsis

In 1943, the Maquis formed a huge unarmed and almost idle cohort, thousands of young men who would have to spend months doing almost nothing.

They dream of help, attacks from convoys or garrisons; they must harvest chestnuts, build makeshift huts and learn to bury themselves to fight the cold. This gap will give rise to a project: when material resources are lacking, when we have no weapons to carry out the fight, what can we do? Represent the fight, answer several characters of the series. Through the theatre, which Claude will stage and bring to life among our Maquis; through the cinema, which Antoine will convene by organizing a parade on November 11 (inspired by that of Oyonnax in 43) by stealing costumes, making wooden guns, and filming the scene, after having misinformed the authorities.
