Based on true events, true stories and real heroines, Female Agents is a powerful rendition of the challenges that faced female World War II Resistance fighters, who were constantly in the shadow of men and accorded little importance for the roles they played in a violent and horrific war. Louise (Sophie Marceau) flees to London after her husband's summary execution and is recruited by the British Special Operations Executive, an intelligence and sabotage service overseen by Churchill himself. She is immediately assigned to an urgent mission. She will stop at nothing to get exactly the right women for the mission's special requirements, even if it means lying, blackmailing or securing pardon for serving prisoners.
