- Synopsis
- May 1944. A five-woman commando unit parachutes into occupied France on a daring and dangerous mission to protect the secret of the D-Day Landings and eliminate Colonel Heindrich, the head of German counter-intelligence. Louise (Sophie Marceau) is a trained sniper and the widow of a Resistance leader. Jeanne (Julie Depardieu) is a tough hooker who won’t hesitate to kill. GaÎlle is a young and brilliant explosives expert desperate to see some action. Suzy (Laura Smet) is a stunning former showgirl and Heindrich’s one-time lover. Maria (Maya Sansa) is an Italian contessa undercover with the French Resistance. Female Agents is an action-packed tribute to the real-life espionage operatives whose exploits inspired the film.
