In the countryside of northeastern France, wild boars ravaging crops spark an all-out war between hunters and farmers. Brun, a bankrupt farmer, struggles to keep his farm afloat. When a local bigwig pushes him over the edge, he snaps and disappears. A year later, Fulda, a Corsican gendarme transferred to the region for disciplinary reasons, leads the investigation. Between flashes of insight and spectacular blunders, his haphazard methods lead him on the trail of the “Attilas,” wild boars of extraordinary size. But his recent breakup and the vodka clouding his mind don’t help. Fortunately, there’s Stéphane, the gendarmerie’s new psychologist: she’s there to bring a little order to his chaos—or is it the other way around?

June 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. Amid the chaos, one man refuses to give in. Alone against all odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of a dream: freedom. Without an army, without support, without hope. But with a fierce conviction: France—his France—has not laid down its arms. He makes one last gamble: to convince the world that the Battle of France is neither over nor lost. Reality strikes hard, proving him wrong. But little by little, resistance fighters operating in the shadows, rebellious high school students, and determined soldiers begin to rally around him in England, France, and Africa. Their faith, their audacity, and their thirst for freedom defy history, which nevertheless seemed to have been written in advance.
