Summary
France, 1944.  The allied forces are beginning to break through the Normandy front of the occupying German troops.  Meanwhile, Julien Dandieu continues with his work as a surgeon in the Périgord.  He has no interest in politics and treats his patients without any regard to their origins.  One day, Julien follows the advice of his friend François and takes his wife Clara and their 13-year-old daughter to their country house, to wait for the end of the war.  When he returns to the house a few days later, Julien is horrified and outraged when he discovers that his loved ones have been killed by a handful of SS soldiers, who are still in the house.  A man who has so far devoted himself to saving people’s lives, Julien now decides the time has come for him to jetison his scruples and become a killer...
