This exceptional documentary reveals rare amateur films shot by German civilians and soldiers during the Occupation of France. Through these surprising images, we discover a more complex reality: scenes of fraternization, shared daily life, and sometimes even romances between occupied and occupiers. But behind this apparent normality, a darker side of the story emerges: requisitions, propaganda, racist humiliations, the beginning of persecution against Jews, and the division of the country. Some French collaborate, others resist silently. A disturbing journey into the early days of an occupation that seemed almost peaceful… before it collapsed.
