Cognacq-Jay
1994, French. Directed by Laurent Heynemann.
With the armies of the Liberation at the gates of Paris, station manager Kurt Heyzmann receives an order from his superiors to withdraw. As a farewell, he decides to prepare one last prestigious program, to be filmed and broadcast live.

He believes that the war is not over, and continues to hunt down potential Jews and STO deserters on the TV premises.
