Through the eyes of women like Marcelle, Marie-Thérèse, and Yvette, the work explores the complex decisions they must make to survive, maintain hope, and preserve their humanity amidst the horror.

The plot centers on a group of women—Marcelle, Marie-Thérèse, Yvette, Marguerite, Lucienne, and Liliane—whose lives are irremediably altered by the conflict. Far from the battlefields, the war is waged in their homes, in lines to get food, and in daily decisions. The comic explores how each of them chooses to live under oppression: from silent collaboration to active resistance, and the simple act of survival. The narrative delves into their fears, their small acts of rebellion, and the bonds that unite them, showing the moral complexity of an era where every choice could mean life or death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDaily life and survival under Nazi occupation in rural France.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of women during the Second World War, far from the battlefront.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eResilience and the ability to maintain hope in extreme conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMoral dilemmas and the gray areas between collaboration and resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFemale solidarity as a tool for resistance and mutual support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in historical graphic novels with a human and social focus.
