Monique is an ingenue, a clueless girl who believes in true love. A marriage is the only thing a decent girl must long for. When she discovers that her future husband has a lover, she rebels against her bourgeois family.

Espionage movie about a German-Belgian family in occupied Brussels, and besides, an ode to the heroîsm of the Belgian soldier.

An episode of the glorious patriotic series, born after the Armistice: the martyrdom of a girl from Marcinelle, shot by a German soldier because she threw her brioche at a starving soldier in captivity.

The very height of the patriotic film, including authentic footage, about the background and distribution of the Belgian newspaper 'La Libre Belgique' during WOI and Gabrielle Petit's part in the resistance movement, her heroism and stoicism being strongly emphasized. The narrative on the espionage activities is rather fragmented. 'La Libre Belgique' focusses mainly on the distribution and the final prosecution of Gabrielle Petit.
