It is Paris, 1942, under the German Occupation, and successful Jewish theatrical director Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent) is forced into hiding. He entrusts the running of his theatre to his wife Marion (Catherine Deneuve), who must contend with Daxiat, a vicious pro-Nazi theatre critic. Suspense and romance unfold as Marion is drawn to her leading man (Gerald Depardieu) despite her love for Steiner. Truffaut's portrait of this courageous theatrical troupe is a tribute to the survival and triumph of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
