β¦ Synopsis
When a British RAF Whitley comes under fire over the French coast and is forced to drop their cargo, a spy messenger pigeon finds its way into unlikely handsβ¦ The occupation has taken much from the Cotillard sisters, and as the Germans increase their forces in the seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Gabriella, Martine and Simone canβt escape the feeling that the walls are closing in. Yet, just as they should be trying to stay under the radar, Martineβs discovery of a British messenger pigeon leads them down a new and dangerous path. Gaby would do anything to protect her sisters but when the pianist is forced to teach the step-daughter of a German Commandant, and the town accuses the Cotillards of becoming βBad Frenchβ and in allegiance with the enemy, she realises they have to take the opportunity to fight back that has been handed to them. Now, as the sistersβ secrets wing their way to an unknown contact in London, Gaby, Martine and Simone have to wonder β have they opened a lifeline, or sealed their fate?..M.F
