January 1943. France is under occupation. Louise is 70, and in her bar everyone likes to forget about the war. The militiamen at the counter are customers like anyone else, and no one complains that her meals depend on black-market produce. Her serenity is disturbed, however, by a cry for help from an English airman who falls from the sky - just like an angel. Louise decides to help him. Helped by half-friend, half-lover Emile, she gets the newcomer to her cellar and hides him there, despite the danger. Without even realizing it, Louise has joined the Resistance.
