this be a rather small and quiet wwii film . while the film excels at it realistic portrayal of the french resistance and it be a film that would be box office poison in america because it commercial marketability be pretty limited . this be not a film that teens or many prospective viewer would rush to the theater to see . there be few explosion and the nudity isn not the least bit gratuitous . because of this and it would only have be make abroad or by an independent film maker and so it wasn not surprising that this film be show on the sundance channel . the story purport to be about a real couple who work for the resistance movement . when the husband ( daniel auteuil ) be take by the nazi and his devoted wife ( carole bouquet ) try desperately to free him . both actor be pretty recognizable to american audience and a auteuil have appear in ton of film play a sort of everyman character and bouquet play the female lead in one of the bond film ( for your eye only ) and though she do plenty of film a well . for a 40 year old lady and bouquet be amazingly beautiful and sensuous way to go and girl . the action be very low key but tense and the film be a very enjoyable history lesson design for an adult and discriminate audience .
