It's December 1945, and the Second World War is finally over. Mathilde, a young French Red Cross doctor, finds herself in Warsaw treaEng the last of the French soldiers returning from the front. One night, a nun appears at the clinic, begging Mathilde to follow her back to the convent on urgent business. What Mathilde finds there is shocking: a holy sister about to give birth. As Mathilde enters the sisters' fiercely private world, secrets rise to the surface, and modernism and science clash with faith and tradiEon. The nuns go about their strict daily rituals, but inside the convent's chilly stone walls, echoing with their melancholic chants, a dangerous revoluEon is taking place.

RAYS AND SHADOWS
Starring Jean Dujardin, Nastya Golubeva Carax, August Diehl, Olivier Chantreau, Anna Próchniak, Lucile Vignolles, Chloé Astor, Vincent Colombe, Maria Cavalier-Bazan and Valeriu Andriuta. Directed by Xavier Giannoli.

Late-1930s Europe: fervent pacifist Luchaire finds an ally in young German Francophile Otto Abetz. Together, they champion peace and rapprochement between their nations in the uneasy calm after the Great War. Meanwhile, Jean's glamorous daughter Corinne is making waves as a rising movie star, hailed as the "French Greta Garbo".

By 1940, however, the Nazi invasion of Paris forces stark choices. Jean aligns with German authorities and, through his newspaper Les Nouveaux Temps, becomes a powerful press baron - embracing collaboration as a path to influence and survival. His trajectory intertwines with that of Otto's, now the Reich ambassador, whose support helps cement his position inside the occupiers' elite. Through her connection to the two, Corinne is drawn into an intoxicating yet perilous world of embassy parties, salons, and propaganda cinema that both protects and endangers her.
