An elderly and frail Vivian was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and while cleaning up an old box in the attic, a young woman's ID card named Juliet Gilves evoked her memories. Time turned back and returned to the smoke-filled Years of World War II.
Vianne took her young daughter Sophie, like all French women, and personally sent her husband Antoine to the battlefield. She hugged her husband and kissed and kissed, saying "I love you" over and over again, for fear of leaving her life and death.
She feared war not only because it could take her husband's life at any moment, but also because the war had completely destroyed her father, turned him into an alcoholic, and even abandoned his two daughters.
Vivian is cowardly and sensitive, as an ordinary woman, she only wants the family to be safe, and as for the outcome of the war, who loses and who wins does not care.
Subsequently, the family is forced to accept the German Gestapo, and Vianne's life is completely disrupted and she is forced to fight against fate.
The younger sister Isabelle is naturally rebellious and bold, and has a very different personality from Vivian. On the way to escape, because of the words of his lover Gaitan, "I want you to fight with me", he dedicated his life to the cause of fighting.
Nightingale became her code name, and she fought alongside her father, who was an underground worker, guiding the way in the darkness and saving many pilots with courage and wisdom.
Baker, a German officer who lived in Vian's house, was a gentleman unlike the other Nazis. With Vian's husband Antoine is a type of person, and the military is only their identity, not their faith. Inside the Iron-Blooded Military Uniform, there is a soft heart. Baker was polite to Vian, never disturbed her normal life, and maintained the dignity of the people of the surrendered country.
At the height of Viane's life, Baker came to the aid. There is no doubt that Baker likes this woman and even helps Vivian hear about Antoine. She deliberately revealed information about the capture of Jews, helped her friends escape, and also gave Ali a fake adoption certificate to the Jewish orphan Ali.
All this made Vivian very grateful, although both tried to restrain, but the ambiguity factor still penetrated the shackles.
I thought that two people would love each other, but I didn't expect that the next scene staged love and killing each other.
In order to protect her sister Isabelle, Vivian had to kill Baker. Beck, who had fallen into a pool of blood, did not blame Vivian, for their union was doomed to be "destroyed." Baker's last words were: Tell my wife...
Although he died before he finished speaking, the blank space was just right. I believe that in his country, there are also housewives like Vivian with children waiting for the return of their husbands. In this war, everyone is a victim!
Not long after, Vivian was targeted by SS leader von Richter, who was cruel and cold-blooded and humiliated Vian. But for the sake of her daughter, for the sake of her sister, and for her husband, who had not yet triumphed, and for the Jewish orphans hiding in the monastery, the Ministry of Vivi endured. Saddled with the name of "French bitch", she endured humiliation and carried the burden of humiliation, and lived strongly like weeds, waiting for the day when the war would end.
Her sister Isabelle was unfortunately arrested during a mission, sent to a concentration camp, and tortured to the point of no one. After the war, she dragged her seriously ill body back to her hometown and returned to her sister's side. At this time, Isabel's body was dilapidated, her face was gone, but her faith was still shining in her heart, and she thought that this life was worth it.
Only those who have experienced war will understand: the weak will choose death to escape reality, and only those who are strong enough can bravely live in suffering! The war makes women go away, and this sentence is unscientific. The two sisters, who went against the grain, chose to go to the same place in the war and did their best to protect others.
As Kristin Hannah, author of Nightingale, said, "The courage to resist and die generously is a kind of bravery, and it is not another kind of bravery to endure humiliation and live indomitably." ”
