Publisher's Synopsis
After the Germans invade Paris in June 1940, fashion worker Capucine saves herself from deportation to Auschwitz by highlighting her connections to Parisian design houses, and she is sent to a little-known prison camp located in the heart of Paris, within the Levitan department store. Meanwhile, Capucine's estranged daughter, Mathilde, finds herself drawn into the shadowy world of Paris's Resistance fighters and begins to see her unconventional mother in a different light. When an old acquaintance arrives to go 'shopping' at the Levitan department store on the arm of a Nazi officer and secretly offers to help Capucine get in touch with Mathilde, this seeming kindness could have dangerous consequences.
