Nélie [Lhyna Khoudri] is a young, wayward woman who is tired of letting men rule her life. When the First World War broke out, she therefore volunteered for the Franks Red Cross. She meets Rose Juillet [Maud Wyler] who is seriously injured in a bombing raid. Nélie discovers that Rose has a letter of recommendation that will allow her to get work with the well-to-do Madame de Lengwil [Sabine Azéma] as readers. Nélie leaves Rose for dead and decides to take over Rose's identity. She quickly gains Madame's trust and friendship, but an unexpected twist of fate leaves her with a serious moral dilemma. Khoudri already impresses in the lively Papicha, but also proves to be able to handle this somewhat stiff melodrama that benefits from strong acting and a good sense of place and time.

Algerian actress Lyna Khoudri is a fast rising star in the French film firmament. She effortlessly carries this social drama about identity theft during the First World War. The ending tends towards the sentimental side, but is nevertheless quite beautiful.

A pleasant film that takes place in the broad spirit of WWI. Not that we see a single shot or front soldier, but it is a period in which the population was asked to do their part. Similarly, Nélie, who lives on the street, walks out after resigning as a housekeeper when she was beaten up by her boss.

The Red Cross, looking for nurses, was her rescue. For many women perhaps, but for how long? Life behind the front as a nurse was no laughing matter. And what afterwards? Out of survival instinct, she takes every opportunity that crosses her path and assumes the identity of a rich woman who had shelter in a small castle.

A great Khoudri who gives very beautiful shape to Nélie/Rose. Not the first time I've seen her play and she always stands out. One to follow up on! Overall a good film, set and costumes look good. End indeed somewhat towards a happy ending, but Nélie, headstrong and determined as she is, finds her own way. Fine!
