September 1940: Pétain’s regime takes hold. Henri Marre, 49, arrives in Vichy penniless, with no contacts, far from his wife and children. He sees the new administration as an opportunity to finally find the position he deserves. In his suitcase is his self-published political treatise, Notre Salut, in which he defends his patriotic convictions and his engineering methods. His credo: “gaining efficiency” to lift France out of its debacle. But perhaps Henri is trying, above all, to escape his own downfall…
