Le repas des fauves
Friends gather for an evening celebration; but when war catches up with them, their true nature is revealed..
About this event
1942, Paris under the Occupation. Seven friends get together to celebrate a birthday. The evening is lighthearted, despite the shortages. But suddenly, an attack takes place beneath their windows: two German soldiers are shot dead. In retaliation, the Gestapo demands two hostages, giving them a Machiavellian choice: the seven friends must decide among themselves who will be handed over to the Germans.
Thus begins the “repas des Fauves”: masks fall, friendship shatters and solidarity evaporates in the face of the instinct to survive.
And you, who would you be willing to sacrifice if death came knocking at your door?
