August 1942. In the midst of the Occupation, the Vichy government organizes a massive roundup of foreign Jews. Gilbert Lesage, a young civil servant at the Social Service for Foreigners, is tasked with organizing a screening commission to decide the fate of the arrested Jews, while Abbé Alexandre Glasberg, a committed humanitarian, maneuvers to save them. Caught between the Vichy bureaucracy and aid networks, they must join forces to defy the state machine and risk the unthinkable to snatch lives from the grim fate promised to them.
