Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Bruno (Michele Piccolo) returns for some strange reason to the small French town where he was an informant to the Nazis in this plodding drama. Sophie (Emmanuelle Riva) is a single woman who falls for Bruno partially out of fear of becoming an old maid, but Bruno falls in love with the sister of a man he turned over to the SS. Danielle Darrieux plays Helene, the wife of a man who was arrested because of the informer Bruno. After Bruno is exposed, he is tracked down to an old submarine station where he cowers like a trapped animal.
