Aventure Malgache

A French actor waits backstage before a performance and looks back on his time in Madagascar during World War II, when he secretly operated a Resistance radio station under the nose of a collaborationist police chief. Through flashbacks, his story reveals espionage, deception, and divided loyalties among the French. Made for Britain's Ministry of Information, this 1944 French-language propaganda short satirizes Vichy opportunism and wartime hypocrisy and remained shelved for decades before its 1993 release.
