Plot

During the Nazi occupation, an American pilot named Allan Morley meets Thérèse Dutheil, a Parisian woman whose husband is a prisoner in Germany. It's May 1944, and the Gestapo is hunting down Allied soldiers whose plane was shot down. When Thérèse unwittingly gets involved in helping transport the aviators secretly, she and Allan end up traveling together to Toulouse to evade Gestapo capture. Despite their involuntary journey, a romance sparks between them. However, the Resistance separates them in the Pyrenees, sending Allan to Spain so he can rejoin his unit in England. After a heartbreaking goodbye, news of the Allied invasion arrives. What lies ahead for them once the war is over?
