Plot:

During World War II, the village nicknamed "Les Milles" (The Thousands) not far from Aix-en-Provence served as an internment camp for German, Austrian, Czech, and stateless civilian men aged 18 to 65. These men were Jewish, communists, or simply opponents of Nazism. A French officer decided to save these men.
