The story is based on real-life events and revolves around a father and daughter who collaborated with the Germans in the Second World War: the journalist and press baron Jean Luchaire, who fled Sigmaringen upon France’s liberation and was later sentenced to death and executed in 1946, and his daughter Corinne, who was an up-and-coming actress between 1935 and 1940 before she was forced to halt her career for health reasons, who was briefly married to a German officer, who fled alongside her father having now become his secretary, and who was sentenced to ten years’ national indignity.
影片改编自真实人物科琳・吕凯尔自传，导演泽维尔・吉亚诺利，故事聚焦二战被占领时期的法国。 让与奥托，一位法国报人、一名热爱法国的德国青年，二人致力促成欧洲和平。让的女儿科琳正于影坛崭露头角，前途大好。然而战火燃起，法国遭到占领。两位好友在这片变局中的法国扮演着举足轻重的角色：让摇身一变成为传媒巨头，极力鼓吹与占领当局合作；奥托则出任德意志帝国驻巴黎大使。与此同时，科琳坠入险境，身陷狼穴。 影片以二战德国占领巴黎为背景，探究和平理想主义者在战争压力下持续妥协、走向通敌的人性轨迹；打破善恶二元论，展现乱世中人复杂的道德灰色地带；同时透过女演员科琳的遭遇，讲述后代背负父辈历史罪责的终身煎熬，反思媒体精英的良知失守，以及特权阶层 “视而不见” 的共谋。
