Watchlist:
In 1942, the southern part of France is not yet occupied by the Nazis, but administrated by the collaborating French government in Vichy. A Parisian Jewish family flees to this "Free Zone" in Charente, where an old farmer gives them shelter. But when the Germans invade the Free Zone, their lives are at stake again.
About
The zone libre was a partition of the French metropolitan territory during World War II, established at the Second Armistice at Compiègne on 22 June 1940. It lay to the south of the demarcation line and was administered by the French government of Philippe Pétain based in Vichy, in a relatively unrestricted fashion. To the north lay the zone occupée, in which the powers of Vichy France were severely limited.
