Jean-Marc is nurturing his first decent Bordeaux vintage in a decade when the German army invades France in June 1940. His decision not to flee with his wife and children will haunt him throughout the war, but when he loses his wine farm to the occupiers and is forced into hiding the opportunity to join the resistance and retaliate is irresistible. Here Jean-Marc meets Monique and tragically discovers that everything is not as it seems in war.
