“We’ve never heard the sound of her voice, we have very few pictures other than this cartoon of Aunt Yvonne. It’s up to me to show you something else.‘, explains Isabelle Carré, who plays the general’s wife in this film, evoking the months of May and June 1940: from the fiasco to the roll call on June 18. “A bit of a disheveled, outdated image of a woman!” To get rid of him, he plunged into the couple’s correspondence during these dark hours: “What impressed me in the script is the reflections of History on privacy. And vice versa.”

Isabelle’s delicate performance puts this “woman of heart and action” in a new light.
