- Synopsis
- The modern day. Over fifty years after Irene Nemirovsky’s death in a concentration camp, her daughter musters the courage to read her journals. And discovers an incredible story…
  France, 1940. Awaiting news from her husband, a prisoner of war, beautiful Lucile Angellier leads a stifled existence with her mean, controlling mother-in-law. Until Parisian refugees pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers' homes. In the Angellier home, Lucile initially tries to ignore Bruno, the handsome and refined German officer staying with them.
  But soon, a powerful love draws them together and leads them into the tragedy of war.
