1943. The Nazis occupied Belgium and confiscated the national daily newspaper *Le Soir* from its owners to turn it into a propaganda tool.
With commemorations of November 11 banned, a group of resistance fighters came up with a crazy idea: what if, to boost the morale of the Belgian people, they managed to print a fake edition of Le Soir? The same paper, the same headline, the same format—but filled with articles ridiculing the occupiers?
This is the wild adventure and the true story of a fake issue of a real newspaper…
