Summary
France, 1942.  A bookseller named Bachelin has invited some friends to celebrate his wife Sophie’s birthday.  As he prepares for the dinner party, he is surprised to find one of his Jewish neighbours hiding in his cellar, but he decides to keep this from his guests.  The latter include the Pétain-supporting Dr Marcillac, the disillusioned philosophy professor Claude Salmon and Françoise, who hates Nazis as her husband is a prisoner of the Germans.  Jean-Louis is blind because of an injury sustained in the war and Mangicol is Sophie's uncle, an unashamed Nazi collaborator.  Suddenly, two shots are fired in the street and two German soldiers are killed.  A few minutes later, S.S. Kaubach enters Bachelin's apartment with the message that unless the killer is handed over to him, two hostages will be taken and shot...
