Overview

Backstage before a performance, a French actor recalls his time in Madagascar during World War II, when he secretly ran a Resistance radio station under the watch of a collaborationist police chief. His story unfolds in flashback, revealing espionage, deception, and divided loyalties within the French ranks. Made for Britain’s Ministry of Information, this 1944 French-language propaganda short satirizes Vichy opportunism and wartime hypocrisy, and was shelved for decades before its release in 1993.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut, cleverly constructed wartime tale that uses theatrical framing to expose the moral compromises and double-crosses of occupied France, all delivered with wry skepticism about those who profited from collaboration.
