In the first days of June 1944 a downed young Englishman, his face hidden by a bandage, is smuggled to a farmhouse near Sainte-Mère-Église. The French boy André, Father Duprey and their neighbours hide him through house-to-house searches by the Germans, until American paratroopers drop from the night sky, the tricolour goes up over the town and the tanks come rolling in.
