Storia
In rural France during World War II, an 18-year-old named Lucien Lacombe tries to join the French Resistance but is rejected due to his youth. Resentful, Lucien joins the French Gestapo instead and begins to enjoy the power that comes with his position. Complications arise when he meets and falls for France Horn, a young Jewish woman whose family he has been tasked with locating by the Nazis.
