0:01:33 > 0:01:36In the days before, German bombs had fallen
0:01:36 > 0:01:39on the outskirts of Paris for the first time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Terrified people were fleeing the city any way they could.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But deep in the countryside the war still felt far away
0:01:49 > 0:01:50and I remained preoccupied
0:01:50 > 0:01:53with the one I was already fighting much closer to home.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Are you not dressed yet?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We'll be late.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Do you really think we should go out today?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Why ever not?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26My mother-in-law, Madame Angellier,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29refused to accept the prospect of defeat,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32even as the first refugees from Paris started to arrive.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Three years before I'd married her precious son at my father's insistence
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and moved to Bussy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47With Gaston away fighting, she felt
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I should learn how to run his properties.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So every month we visited our tenants,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55on a Sunday, because Madame knew the farmers would be home.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Don't make any noise. That way you see how they really live.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02She liked to catch them out.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I hated every minute of it.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Have you heard anything from your son?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24No, not for over a week. And you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26No, nothing from either of our boys.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- People say Paris is going to fall. - People say a lot of things.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Lucile?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Madame, it's...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's a big farm.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And it's been difficult without my brothers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44We'll put what they owe us down to next month.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46If I make any exceptions,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49then Gaston wouldn't have a home of his own to return to,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and then what would he have been fighting for?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Come along, Lucile.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Good morning.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02They don't want to pay the rent but they don't think twice
0:04:02 > 0:04:04about buying silk stockings for that daughter of theirs.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Did you see?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I know it seems harsh, but if you show them any weakness,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11they'll bleed you dry.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14When Gaston comes home, he'll see he has a wife
0:04:14 > 0:04:16who knows what it is to be a land...

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Thank you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05There are more cars on the road, from Paris.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Get inside, girls.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We'll have to get used to it, I'm afraid, along with everything else.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35There had been no men in our town for so long.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The mothers of French soldiers looked on with disgust

0:21:23 > 0:21:25If it makes you feel any better,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27everybody who can afford to is doing it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35My mother-in-law pretended we were united in war,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37but the well-off continued to reap their own wheat
0:21:37 > 0:21:41and count their own money and to hell with everyone else.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Others, like Benoit and Madeleine, wouldn't have hoarded

0:21:49 > 0:21:50This is for you.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's just, we have food to spare.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55If you know what I mean.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08You must miss Gaston, miss having someone else to talk to.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Yes, I do.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Do you write to him?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16We don't know where he is.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Well, you should write anyway. Make you feel better.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Benoit would do anything to swap places with Gaston,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26to have fought like a man.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Really?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Can we help you? - Mesdames.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04There has been a change of plan. I have been billeted with you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I apologise for the inconvenience.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09But they said that we were too far from the village to have anyone.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I was surprised myself. I was staying at the chateau.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- You're an officer? - A lieutenant.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19But this is just a farmhouse. The rooms won't be good enough.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22We haven't even got any running water.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You needn't worry about me.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28This will do nicely.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48This young officer relished his power to disrupt Benoit and Madeleine's lives,

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I was meant to resent him,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10yet there was relief in his presence after months of silence.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Your house is beautiful, Madame.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It isn't mine. It's my mother-in-law's.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28The piano is yours, I imagine.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And what makes you say that?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I don't believe your mother-in-law is a music lover.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41My father gave that piano to me.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Do you play?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I do.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49But Madame doesn't want any music in the house
0:25:49 > 0:25:51until my husband's home to hear it.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05The piece you keep playing...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- ..I don't recognise it. - You wouldn't.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- I've studied music, you know. - Not this.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16You wrote it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23I was a composer before the war, when I first got married.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- You're married? - I've been married four years.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And a soldier four years.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05They're gossip.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Nothing more. They are just people settling old scores.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- Er...they should be burned. - If I had my way, they would.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52No.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54My father was dying.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58He wanted to...find me a...good man.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00A rich man.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Please, he only asked to go into the garden.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14You should have stood up and left.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Do you expect me to be confined to my bedroom?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- I expect you to be a faithful wife.- I am.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24when you know that your husband has been hunted down
0:30:24 > 0:30:25by these animals?
0:30:25 > 0:30:29When I see them, I want to rip their eyes out!
0:30:33 > 0:30:34What's happened?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38We've just heard that...
0:30:40 > 0:30:43..Gaston's unit is in a labour camp in Germany.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Your husband is a prisoner of war.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53This German is our enemy. Do you understand?
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Yes.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Madame.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I can't talk to you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I should have believed you.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I think this is why you came into my room.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I'm sorry.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Remember you're doing the rents today, Lucile.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Come on, Marthe. We're going to be late.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I'm going for a swim.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Can you swim?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04The Viscount doesn't let the villagers swim in the lake.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Oh, sorry, I didn't mean...
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I meant with your infirmity, can you...?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12What happened?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16My horse fell. My leg was trapped.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Otherwise you would have fought, huh?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes, I would.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Nietzsche said a man is made to be a warrior.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Have you read Nietzsche?

0:33:36 > 0:33:39..a woman is made to please the warrior.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47His leg, did it happen before or after you were married?
0:33:49 > 0:33:50After.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Beautiful scent.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Perhaps I could buy a bouquet for my bedroom,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03cheer it up a little.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32- People have been killed for less. - I need it.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37The German...in my home,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40he's chasing after Madeleine.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45The officer that lives here could put pressure on him.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- I don't speak to him. - That's not what I've heard.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54I'm not here to criticise you. I just want him moved.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Please.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07You have a complaint about a German soldier?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- I apologise. - So you'll do something?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I have no influence over him. We are of equal rank.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16So it's one rule for us and another for them?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19That's not what I said.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21We lost the war. We don't have to lose our women as well.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Then perhaps you should have thought of protecting them earlier, my friend.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Please.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35I will try.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38But it might only make it worse.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Tell him to leave her in peace.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I won't ask again.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Our regiment could leave at any time.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I couldn't stand to think... that you hated me.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I don't hate you.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Then invite me for tea.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20There's hardly any left. Your men have taken it all.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Or wine.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25I'll talk to Bonnet,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28but in return I only ask that we be decent to one another.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Where's the harm in that?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35My mother-in-law would throw me out.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I've got nowhere else to go.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41She has church tonight. She'll be another half an hour.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57How did you become a soldier?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I'm from a military family. It was expected of us.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06My brothers and I signed up on the same day.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Your brothers, where are they?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12One was killed in Poland.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Another one in Normandy.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19The youngest has just left for Africa.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22People shouldn't be sacrificed like this.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- I mean none of us. - I can't think like that.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Questioning only makes things more difficult.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Do you believe in the war?
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Let's say I believe in the communal spirit.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41None of us like to admit it,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45but single actions on their own don't mean anything.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48So why is it that whenever I see you you're always on your own?

0:51:31 > 0:51:33How are things in Lyon?
0:51:33 > 0:51:34Bad.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37At least you don't have a German living in your house.
0:51:37 > 0:51:38Yes.
