Monsieur X

June 44. At that time, Marguerite Duras was an active member of the French resistance. Her husband, Robert Antelme, who belonged to the same group of resistant, led by François Mitterrand (alias François Morland) had been arrested a few days earlier by the Gestapo. "D Day" already happened in Normandy. All visits in French prisons were then forbidden by the Germans. Overcoming her fears with courage, Marguerite Duras went directly to the Gestapo's office, trying to hear from her husband. And it's here, in a dark corridor of this sinister place, she meets the man who actually arrested her husband. For six weeks, until the liberation of Paris, they will meet every day in public places: restaurants, public gardens… Trying to learn as much as possible from one another. In a dangerous game of desire and fear. With death at the end of the road.
