La Troisième Nuit

August 1942. In the midst of the occupation, the Vichy government organises a mass round-up of foreign Jews. Gilbert Lesage, a young civil servant in the Social Services Department for Foreigners, is tasked with organising a screening committee to decide the fate of the arrested Jews, whilst Father Alexandre Glasberg, a committed humanitarian, works behind the scenes to save them. Caught between the Vichy bureaucracy and the resistance networks, they will have to join forces to defy the state apparatus and risk the unthinkable to save lives from the grim fate that awaits them.
