1944. Léon Duchemin owns a restaurant with his sister. His clients are Germans, Résistance et black marketeers. Léon unwillingly joins the Résistance when a British pilot is shot down and hides in his attic and, through a series of mishaps, he accidentally steals the plans for Hitler's V1 missiles.

VIBE

A chaotic wartime farce where mistaken identities and improbable escapes fuel a series of escalating comedic mishaps. It's a lighthearted romp through the absurdity of conflict, driven by witty banter and a sense of playful anarchy.
