August 1942. In the midst of the Occupation, the Vichy government organises a massive roundup of foreign Jews. Gilbert Lesage, a young civil servant in the Foreign Nationals Social Service, is tasked with organising a screening commission to decide the fate of the arrested Jews, while Abbé Alexandre Glasberg, a committed humanitarian, works to save them.
