Couvre-feu. Journal de Monique Saint-Hélier (1940-44)

In summer, two teenage girls are exploring an uninhabited house in the country. In the attic, they discover the diary of the French-speaking Swiss writer Monique Saint-Hélier. Her written words come to life in their hands, bringing this exiled literary woman, weakened by illness and tormented by war, back to life for the duration of the film.
