the long version

French Academician and Nazi sympathiser, Paul-Jean Husson, writes a letter to his local SS officer in the autumn of 1942. Tormented by an illicit passion for Ilse, his German daughter-in-law, Husson has made a decision that will devastate several lives, including his own. Husson's confession is a startling picture of one man's journey: from pillar of the French Establishment and First World War hero, to outspoken supporter of Nazism and the Vichy government.
