What she doesn't know is that just ten kilometers away, the SS is planning a direct strike against her birthplace, the town of Oradour sur Glane, in the middle of France - a total annihilation of the city and its population. Six hundred and forty-two people were brutally murdered. The story of the massacre is recounted in the film with matter-of-fact images from the place where the bodies were found, as it appears today with deserted ruins overgrown with grass.
