Les Femmes De L'Ombre (Female Agents) (2008)

Female Agents is a fast-paced, dramatic film set in 1944 during the Second World War. The story is of Louise Desfontaines a French resistance fighter and her mission to, along with four other women who have also been recruited, rescue an English geologist from a German army hospital where he is injured. The women have a race against time as German SS Officer Heindrich has becoming increasingly suspicious of the geologist and the British plans to invade, and as he realises their involvement in the plan, they must also kill him if they want to survive. I found this film very interesting and gripping as I felt connected to the women and was compelled to find out how their story ended. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys an exciting, moving film.
