Summer, 1943. Nanette is a solitary 14-year old girl whose family owns a farm in a remote region of rural France. One day, she encounters a handsome young man who has suffered a slight injury to his foot. Named Claude, he reveals that he is an English soldier and appeals to Nanette to shelter him from the Nazis. Although she has been brought up to hate the English (her family are staunch Pétain supporters), Nanette takes him to her father’s farm and finds him a hiding place in a disused attic. Whilst he is recovering, Nanette brings him food and keeps him amused. imdb
A shocking war movie. Reminds of Verhoeven's Flesh & blood
This strange, bold movie takes place in France during World War 2. A young and innocent girl (Muriel Catala) finds a wounded soldier (Horst Buchholz) and provides him food and help, hiding him in the cellar of her parents' farm. Soon, a strange bond will unite those two, before the soldier reveals his true nature…
The sexual tension between the girl and the soldier may shock some people, but it's just a piece of a bigger picture, as the movie turns out to show the manipulative characters looming to an atrocious ending, one of the most disturbing display of immorality ever put on screen. Not for everyone, but the movie is clearly worth a watch, if only for its rarity.IMDB Reviewer
