Summary:
The true story of an audacious resistance campaign undertaken by an unlikely pair: two French women -- lesbian partners known for cross-dressing -- Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe, who drew on their skills as Parisian avant-garde artists to write and distribute insults against Hitler and calls to desert, a PSYOPs tactic known as "paper bullets," designed to demoralize Nazi troops occupying their adopted home of Jersey in the British Channel Islands.
