It is 1940, and Léon Blum — the Jewish socialist politician and three-time Prime Minister of France — has been imprisoned at Buchenwald. Jeanne Reichenbach, in love with Blum since she was a teenager but married and with a son, is driven to link her fate with Blum’s. As the Nazis invade France, she abandons her comfortable life and risks everything to reunite with Blum in prison.
