April 6, 1944. A detachment of German soldiers arrive in a rural
French town, hunting down resistance fighters, many of whom are
hiding in the region. More than sixty years later, the villagers
clearly remember the day when four peasants from a nearby village
were taken hostage and shot as an example to others. But do they
remember the whole story? Jean-Marie Borzeix sets out to
investigate the events of Holy Thursday 1944, and to reveal the
hidden truths of that fateful day. He uncovers the story of a
mysterious 'fifth man' shot alongside the resisters and eventually
unravels a trail which leads him to Paris, Israel and into the
darkest corners of the Holocaust in France. A captivating story,
the events of this day in a small, entirely typical, town
illuminate the true impact of World War II in France.
