In the early 18th century, the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice took in young orphan girls and trained them in music. Hidden from the public, often wearing masks or performing behind a grille, the orchestra of young girls performed for the institution’s wealthy patrons. Cecilia, 20, excelled there as a violinist. Until the day a new music director, Antonio Vivaldi, arrived and turned her life—and that of the Ospedale—upside down.

La Bataille de Gaulle – partie 1 : L’Âge de Fer
French historical drama by Antonin Baudry – 2h40
Starring Simon Abkarian, Simon Russell Beale, Florian Lesieur
June 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. Amid the chaos, one man refuses to give in. Alone against all odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of a dream: freedom. Without an army, without support, without hope. But with a fierce conviction: France—his France—has not laid down its arms. He makes one last gamble: to convince the world that the Battle of France is neither over nor lost. Reality is stubborn, and proves him wrong. But little by little, resistance fighters operating in the shadows, rebellious high school students, and determined soldiers rise up around him in England, France, and Africa. Their faith, their audacity, and their thirst for freedom defy a history that seemed, after all, to have been written in advance.
