Plot/Synopsis:
A member of the French Resistance, Louise (Sophie Marceau) flees to London after her husband’s summary execution. She is recruited by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), an intelligence and sabotage service overseen by Churchill himself.
She immediately assigned to an urgent mission: the rescue of a British agent who has fallen into German hands while preparing for D-Day on the Normandy beaches. The man hasn’t talked yet, but there is no time to lose. Louise must first put together an all-female commando unit. She will stop at nothing to get exactly the right women for the mission’s special requirements, even if it means lying, blackmailing or securing pardons for serving prisons.
Suze (Marie Gillain) is a showgirl who excels in the art of seduction. Gaelle (Deborah Francois) is a chemist and explosive expert. And Jeanne (Julie Depardieu) is a prostitute who has already killed in cold blood. Parachuted into Normandy, they are joined by Maria (Maya Sansa) a Jewish Italian radio operator and the final member of the team. The mission begins well but there are soon complications. Their SOE bosses give the women a new, almost suicidal objective: they must move on to eliminate Colonel Heindrich (Moritz Bleibtrey), the head of Nazi counter-intelligence, who has gleaned too much information about the Landings.
