Grey-green hours

This documentary intends to visit an little known aspect of the French Occupation during the Second World War : the economic collaboration between French and German businesses. Thanks to the gradual accessibility of old archives, historians can now have a clear idea of the nature of this collaboration, that we can now define as collaborations, as different forms have emerged.

75 years on, it’s easy to appreciate a situation when we know the outcome, and reward the good resistant militants while accusing the bad citizens collaborating with the enemy. But, as always, the truth is far more complex, and this is what this film would like to bring to light.
