Nightingale

France, 1939. In the cozy and sleepy village of Carriveau, Vianna Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, who is leaving to fight the Germans. She does not believe that the Nazis will invade France... But soon they are marching past her house, rows of tanks rumble, the sky is barely visible from the planes dropping bombs. War has come to the quiet French wilderness. Vianna has a choice: either let a German officer stay, or lose everything, possibly even her life.
Isabelle Mauriac, a rebellious and wayward eighteen-year-old girl, is determined to fight the invaders. Reckless and risky, she is ready to do anything, but her father forces her to go to the village to her older sister. Having fallen under a German bombing with other refugees, Isabelle meets Gaeton in the midst of chaos and death and falls in love as recklessly as she does everything in this life. This is how her path to the Resistance begins. She does not look back and does not regret her actions, again and again risking her life she saves people. Each of the two sisters, so different in character and destiny, leads her own war.
