Plot
A group of ex-resistance fighters are brought together by Marie-Octobre, the code name of Marie-Helene Dumoulin (Danielle Darrieux). The former members of the network have carried on with their lives after the war, but this evening they are going to have to live again a fateful night – the night their leader was killed. He had been betrayed, his name given to the Germans. The search for the traitor puts each personality in the spotlight – and also that of the killed leader, Castille.

gollark: My server is less responsive than usual even *after* I shut down the osmarks.net search engine rampantly consuming all resources.
gollark: That's an awful workaround which will probably break something for someone, when the solution is just a sane format with working escaping.
gollark: Ah, a more reasonable 112kloc of nonvendor code.
gollark: I didn't exclude dokuwiki's vendor folder, so hold on.
