Synopsis
June 1940. France is collapsing and signs the armistice. In the midst of chaos, one man refuses to give in. Alone against all, this unknown general escapes to London to save what remains of a dream: freedom. Without an army, without support, without hope. But with one wild conviction: France, his France, has not laid down its arms. He takes one last gamble: to convince the world that the Battle of France is neither over nor lost. Reality is stubborn, and proves him wrong. But slowly, resistance fighters in hiding, rebellious high school students, and determined soldiers begin to rally around him in England, France, and Africa. Their faith, boldness, and hunger for freedom defy a history that once seemed all but written.
