Summary

1943, during WWII. In the Cévennes region of France, a group of soldiers under the command of Cazal is ordered to free twelve men who have been condemned to death by the Germans. The operation is a success but there are thirteen men instead of the expected twelve. Who is this extra man – a traitor or an innocent man? Whilst awaiting his fate, the extra man is assigned to work in the commando group. Although everyone is suspicious of him, this unknown man shows himself to be useful, dutifully performing all the jobs he is given. Then the decision is taken that the man will be executed. One of Cazal’s subalterns, Thomas, is given the order to undertake this task...
