Indeed, Audrey Fleurot, Julie de Bona and Camille Lou will be brought together again on screen, but the two series are quite distinct. The producer Iris Bucher and the director Alexandre Laurent, at the origin of the Charity Bazaar, had asked TF1 for a brand new project featuring the three stars of the series in another decisive period in the history of France.

And it is in this context that four women will find themselves thrown into the heart of the horror: Marguerite (Audrey Fleurot), a prostitute suspected of being a spy, Agnès (Julie de Bona), the mother superior of a convent requisitioned and transformed into a military hospital, Caroline (Sofia Essaïdi), who finds herself forced to take over her husband’s factory, who has gone to the front, and finally Suzanne (Camille Lou), a young feminist nurse on the run after an abortion that hurts turned.
