Damals in Paris (1956)
1944: Geneviève and René live in occupied Paris. They love each other, and the young woman looks fearfully at René's activities in the Resistance.

While he is away, the Gestapo come to the house to take the resistance fighter Louise away. Geneviève intervenes and is arrested.
