Lucie Aubrac (1997)

The film retraces various moments in the lives of Lucie Aubrac and her husband Raymond in 1943 and 1944, in the Lyon region during the German occupation. After a military train is sabotaged, Raymond and three of his associates are arrested, but the charges are limited to black-market trading in food supplies, and they are eventually released. He is arrested again in a Gestapo sweep in Lyon, led by Klaus Barbie, during an important Resistance meeting whose purpose is to reorganize its leadership. Along with Raymond, around ten men are arrested, including “Max” (Jean Moulin). From then on, Lucie uses every possible stratagem to get close to her husband and organize an attack to free him. After a first attempt fails when Raymond is being transferred to hospital because of a temperamental vehicle, Lucie does not lose heart and devises a new plan. Although they have been married for [duration missing in the source], they are not married under their false identities. So, exercising her right to do so, she asks to marry Raymond despite his detention and his death sentence imposed by the Germans, and her request is granted. After marrying Lucie in a brief ceremony at the Kommandantur, he is freed as the truck taking him back to prison is attacked by Lucie and a well-armed, well-organized commando unit, which takes advantage of a hill to attack the truck with silenced weapons. At last free and reunited, Lucie, who is pregnant, Raymond, and their son secretly fly to London by night, where they will continue the fight.
