A boy becomes a killer, a woman becomes his salvation, and the war becomes their bedroom.
During the Second World War, the Martel family hides out in the Pyrenees, waiting for hostilities to end. André, a young boy, saves them from an attack by bogus resistance fighters. Hunted from all sides, he flees to Spain. Catherine Martel leads him to the border, and a romance develops between them.
