Frédéric est un adolescent de 16 ans que sa mère a envoyé en 1942 chez ses grands-parents dans un village de Lozère. Il s'intègre bien dans la communauté villageoise et, comme beaucoup des habitants, participe au marché noir. Il se lie d'amitié avec Lise, une jeune juive allemande, chanteuse de variété, qui est venue se réfugier dans ce coin paisible de France. Mais ses origines sont difficilement acceptées par le village et elle est rejetée. Frédéric connaîtra avec elle ses premiers émois amoureux alors qu'une dénonciation malveillante les mettra dans une situation délicate.Actors
