We read a SUBTITLE in the sky above the farmhouse: CHAPTER ONE “ONCE UPON A TIME IN…NAZI-OCCUPIED FRANCE” This SUBTITLE disappears and is replaced by another one: “1941 One year into the German occupation of France” The farm consists of a house, a small barn, and twelve cows spread about. The owner of the property, a bull of a man, FRENCH FARMER, brings an ax up and down on a tree stump, blemishing his property. However, simply by sight, you’d never know if he’s been beating at this stump for the last year or just started today. JULIE one of his three pretty teenage daughters, is hanging laundry on the clothesline. As she hangs up a white bedsheet, she hears a noise. Moving the sheet aside, she sees: JULIE’S POV A Nazi town car convertible, with two little Nazi flags attached to the hood, a NAZI SOLDIER behind the wheel, a NAZI OFFICER alone in the backseat, following TWO OTHER NAZI SOLDIERS on motorcycles, coming up over the hill on the country road leading to their farm.
