What happens
Ici-bas est un film français réalisé par Jean-Pierre Denis, sorti le . En 1943, sœur Luce (Céline Sallette) est une religieuse dévote, servant comme infirmière dans un hôpital de Périgueux (Dordogne). Sa vie est ébranlée quand elle tombe amoureuse de Martial (Éric Caravaca), un résistant, ancien aumônier devenu athée. Cependant Martial trahit ses sentiments. Désespérée, Luce dénonce son groupe à la Kommandantur. Ce film est très largement inspiré d'un fait réel : Sœur Philomène (ou sœur Marie-Philomène) qui, par dépit amoureux, livrera le maquis de Pont Lasveyras aux allemands. Arrêtée par les résistants, elle sera condamnée puis fusillée après avoir refusé de rejoindre un carmel en Espagne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
