Renée Delmas

Jean-Joachim Goriot, négociant enrichi pendant la Révolution, est obsédé par l'amour de ses deux filles dont il souhaite la promotion sociale. Il les dote richement, se ruine pour payer leur dettes, mais Delphine et Anastasie ne lui rendent pas son affection et l'abandonnent au moment de sa mort pour courir à un grand bal.

During the Occupation, a boarding school in Moulins was placed under the rule of a headmistress committed to collaboration. It is within these walls that Michel, Arthur and Franck, escaped prisoners seeking to cross the demarcation line, find themselves stranded. Three boarders, Manouche, Jo and La Tigresse, discreetly devote themselves to them. Until the day when, aware of the danger, they alert the Resistance through the intermediary of a warden. The three men cross into the free zone, and Michel promises to find Manouche.
