In the heart of history's darkest period during the occupation of France by the Germans, pro-German collaborators and covert members of the French Resistance work side by side for the completion of the monumental,
Children of Paradise (1945).
Arletty, an unconventional actress and the film's emblematic protagonist who lives by her own rules, finds herself falling for the young German soldier, Hans Jürgen Soehring, in occupied Paris--and against all odds--she will continue to defend her reckless choice. Can the dazzling allure of a guilty passion blind a woman in love?
