June 1940. France surrenders to the German army and signs the armistice. Amid the chaos, one man refuses to accept the situation: General de Gaulle. As a brand-new enemy of the state, he flees – with no army support or hope – to London to pick up the pieces of his fallen homeland. De Gaulle has one unwavering belief: a new free France and a Europe that won’t lay down its arms against Nazi Germany.

After Résistance the story of Charles de Gaulle continues in Liberté, the second and final part of the epic two-parter directed by Antonin Baudry. It features an impressive cast full of big French and English names, including Simon Abkarian (Casino Royale), Anamaria Vartolomei (Le Comte de Monte-Cristo), Niels Schneider (Diamant noir), Mathieu Kassovitz (La Haîne), Thierry Lhermitte (Le Dîner de cons), Félix Kysyl (Miséricorde), and Simon Russell Beale (House of the Dragon, The Death of Stalin).
