Les innocents
Les innocents is a gripping World War II drama based on true events, set in the bleak aftermath of 1945. When Dr. Mathilde, a young French Red Cross doctor, is summoned by a Polish nun for urgent help, she enters an isolated convent and uncovers a devastating secret: several sisters are pregnant after a brutal assault by Soviet soldiers. Determined to protect the women from shame, expulsion, and further violence, the strict Mother Abbess tries to keep the outside world away—yet the pregnancies, infections, and trauma threaten lives behind closed doors.
As Mathilde secretly delivers babies and provides medical care, she becomes the sisters’ only lifeline, confronting harrowing questions of faith, guilt, and survival. With soldiers still roaming the region, she risks everything to return again and again, ultimately devising a daring “typhus quarantine” to shield the convent from danger. But an even darker truth within the walls puts both mothers and newborns at risk.
Emotional, suspenseful, and deeply human, Les innocents follows one courageous woman’s fight to save innocent lives and restore hope in a place where faith has been shaken to its core.
