In the vaults above a cathedral in 1942, four senior high-school boys and a working class pal from the outside meet to perform their rites, discuss tactics, and whatever goes with being their country's youngest active resistance group to fight the German occupiers. Moving beyond the confines of the conventional thriller, the film also explores generational, national, and emotional issues of the time.
