The Nightingale

FRANCE; 1939 In the quiet village of Carriveau; Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband; Antoine; as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France … but invade they do; in droves of marching soldiers; in caravans of trucks and tanks; in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home; she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope; as danger escalates all around them; she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
