France

Is 1943 in the slopes of the Jura Mountains. Anthonioz (Guy Marchand) is a "passer", a smuggler who helps Jews and resistance fighters to get across the border. In the same town, Nicod (Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu) doesn't help anyone, he only smuggles things: gold, painted masterpieces, cash and bank bonds.

Francois (Cédric Chevalme) is a 19-years-old champion athlete. Despite the hatred between their two families, they fall in love and run up against the will of their parents.
