Brest, 1950. The war ended five years ago and nothing remains of the city. Massive bombings and intense fighting lasting more than a month turned the city, its docks, its arsenal, into ashes.

Until one man falls. The next day René Vautier lands at Brest clandestinely to make a movie about the movement.
