In September 1940, Henri Marre arrives alone in Vichy as the newly formed regime of Marshal Pétain establishes its government. Hoping to secure a role in this shifting political landscape, he carries a manuscript he has written titled Notre salut, a text he believes could help guide France toward renewal after its collapse. Moving through offices, cafés, and corridors of influence, Henri tries to persuade officials and intermediaries to read and support his ideas. As he struggles to gain recognition, his personal ambitions collide with the opportunism, uncertainty, and moral compromises surrounding the Vichy administration. Through Henri’s determined yet fragile quest for legitimacy, the story follows one man’s attempt to find purpose and influence during a moment when France itself is searching for a path forward.
