Description
Monsignor Renard, a French Catholic priest, after an absence of twenty years, returns home in 1940 as the Germans march in to occupy the country. The three episodes, filmed entirely on location in France (in St. Valery sur Somme, on the Picardy coast, at the mouth of the River Somme), focus on the first eight months of the German occupation of Saint Josse des Bois. Renard's beliefs are tested to breaking point as he is forced to choose between the tenets of his faith and the violent necessities of life in an occupied country.
