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...
