Film Synopsis
After the Liberation, a German corporal, Adler, is imprisoned for
having killed a member of the French resistance. Whilst
incarcerated at Cherche-Midi prison, he meets a young Frenchman,
Jean-François Cordier, who has spent the last four years in
prison for refusing to join the army. Both men are brought before
the same military tribunal. Adler claims that he was acting under
orders from his superiors and is acquitted. Cordier is condemned
and must return to prison for an indeterminate period.
