Jean Chevalin served in the French army for many years, but resigned in 1940. His desertion and the outbreak of the Second World War plunged him and his family into bitter poverty. In search of a better future, he came up with a daring plan. What if they pretended to be Jews on the run? That way, they might be able to reach a free zone via smugglers and start a new life together...
