Les Films au Long Cours is marked by the spirit of adventure of independent production : creation, innovation and the highlighting of remarkable talents. Our passion materializes on contact with directors and the women and men who support them to offer inventive and high quality productions (short films, features, documentaries, corporate films and recordings). We approach our work with the desire to support new filmmakers in the long term and a steadfast desire to work for the cinema in all its diversity.

Synopsis:
Spring 1944. «Some love stories seem self-evident. Perhaps they were unaware of its fatal outcome. In any case, it was inevitable.»
Coming from a family of Resistance fighters, Henriette lives the inconceivable: she falls in love with Josef, a young German soldier. Marcel, her friend since childhood, secretly in love with her, discovers their romance and joins the maquis the day before the Liberation. When he will come back, he will not be alone anymore, and they will wear the armband of the FFI.
