L'Occupation, une ville de province. Sept personnes, des amis, se retrouvent réunies pour un repas d'anniversaire. Durant la fête, un attentat a lieu et deux officiers allemands sont abattus. Le capitaine de la Gestapo, le SS Kaubach, fait irruption dans la pièce et exige l'exécution de vingt otages si les coupables ne sont pas trouvés. Il demande aux invités de désigner eux-mêmes deux d'entre eux comme otages. Alors, ces gens qui appartiennent à des milieux différents vont s'affronter et s'entre-dévorer, chacun trouvant une bonne raison de ne pas se porter volontaire. La tension ne va cesser de monter, transformant la réunion amicale en repas de fauves où les moments d'espoir alternent avec les moments de folie.

During the Battle of France, while the German forces are rapidly spreading across the country, the 7th Transmission Company suffers an air raid near the Machecoul wood, but survive and hide in the wood. Captain Dumont, the company commander, sends three of his men—Louis Chaudard, Pithiviers and Tassin—to scout the area. After burying the radio cable beneath a sandy road, the little squad crosses the field, climbs a nearby hill, and takes position within a wall-covered area, which happens to be a cemetery. One of the men who was cutting down trees for camouflage hits the wrong tree, pulling up the radio cable from the sandy road and revealing it to the passing German infantry. The Germans cut the cable, surround the woods, and order a puzzled 7th Company to surrender. During that time, Chaudard and his friends, who spotted the Germans, try without success (due to the cut cable) to contact and join their unit. They can only witness their comrades' capture and decide to run away.

Héléna Bourdelle, called "The Bourdelle," is a great singer and wife of maestro André Bourdelle. Joining the Resistance, he is killed by the accidental explosion of a grenade. Following the defeat, the family's mansion is taken over by German forces, leaving the family occupying a few back rooms, complaining to the Kommandantur about his excesses and those of his men. Bourdelle, her daughters and their tenant help by chance an English soldier to escape and are then forced to hide him. The family, whose former caretaker Ramirez has become a Gestapo agent, is favoured by the General Spontz who has a soft spot for Bernadette Bourdelle. He is willing to ignore the fact that Guy-Hubert, son of the family, a seemingly cowardly and effeminate hairdresser, is actually the elusive vigilante known as "Super-Resistant".
