What it is about
June, 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. In the midst of the chaos, an unknown general refuses to give up and flees to London to save what remains of freedom. Without an army, without backing, without hope. Yet, little by little, resistance fighters, rebellious students and determined soldiers rise in England, France and Africa to join the cause.
