INTERDIT, MARGUERITE!
Occupied France, 1943. The Germans have overstayed their welcome. Marguerite intends to help them leave!
CHARM.
CHAOS.
COURAGE.
Marguerite is the central visual and narrative star: a young brunette Resistance heroine with an expressive face, daisy motif, red kerchief, fitted white blouse, red skirt with blue dots, and flat shoes. She is daring, impulsive, cheerful, kind, physically attractive, and more capable than enemies initially assume.
Her attractiveness can generate jokes, romantic complications, wardrobe mishaps, or pin-up energy — but she must never become useful only because she is attractive.
THE RESISTANCE CELL
Étienne can repair a radio, wire an explosive and disappear completely into whatever machine is in front of him. Unfortunately, this includes the moments when Marguerite would very much prefer him to notice her.
Jacques notices Marguerite constantly and suffers accordingly. Colette survives largely because nobody notices her at all.
Somewhere between sabotage, romance, German patrols and another plan coming apart, the Resistance occasionally gets some work done.
THE KRAUTS ARE STILL SHOOTING BACK
Marguerite may turn half of occupied France into her own boudoir, but the occupation remains deadly serious. There are midnight round-ups, dastardly collaborators, horrific arrests, terrible reprisals and a band of merry men and women who laugh through it all to liberate their homeland.
