Based on a true story
In the heart of Marseille, amidst the vibrant street art of Cours Julien, a young graffiti artist uncovers a hidden piece of history that will change her life forever.
Marseille, August 2004
Arriving to attend the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, Sil Anderson discovers a suitcase filled with letters of Lise de Baissac, a courageous female SOE agent during World War II.
Transported into Lise’s world, Sil follows the story of a woman who risked everything to fight against Nazi oppression. Lise’s journey from fleeing occupied Paris to orchestrating daring missions in Poitiers and Normandy unfolds with intense bravery and strategic brilliance.
Inspired by Lise’s story of female empowerment and courage, Sil creates a mural titled “The Color of Courage,” weaving in Lise’s portrait with snippets from her letters.
Alongside her artistic journey, Sil finds herself drawn to her enigmatic landlord, Justin Bellamare, mirroring the classic Marseillaise love story of Lise and Henri Villameur.
For both Lise and Sil, the ultimate reward for their rebellious spirit is love. And love conquers all.
