In Marseille, 1940, former combatants of the Spanish Civil War, Jews, deserters, intellectuals and, in general, all those persecuted by the Nazi invading army, find themselves trapped in this French city awaiting a hypothetical embarkation. In the cafes of the Vieux-Port, the refugees are consumed with the only hope of a visa that allows them to flee to a free country. In this Marseille full of revolutionaries and spies, turned into the capital of the desperate, two men fall in love with the same woman, while she loves a third. A story of love and survival in times of war.
