The drama is set in German-occupied Paris in 1940 and depicts the lives of students and teachers within the
French Resistance in
World War II and is loosely based on the activities of the
Groupe du musée de l'Homme. The series, written by
Dan Franck, was commissioned to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the
liberation of Paris.
The Guardian noted that the series has a "great sense of the sludge and the trudge, and depression and rain, the heartache, and the general constant filthy low-level stress of a long sneaking war in which the most precious – the only – currency was trust, given as grudgingly as you would proffer your soul." ==Cast==
