During the Nazi occupation of France, Marion Steiner (Deneuve), star and owner of a small theatre, stages a new play in an attempt to keep the theatre and Lucas, her Jewish husband, alive. The atmosphere becomes charged with fear when an anti-semitic journalist settles into the stalls. Will he discover Lucas's hideout... or the truth about Steiner's political affiliations?
