The Cast
Daniel Larcher
The war made Daniel, a doctor and former mayor of Villeneuve, a lonely and tired man. Scarred by the execution of his brother Marcel and by his wife’s relationship with Heinrich Müller, Daniel is considered by a majority of inhabitants of Villeneuve to be collaborator – and, as the season opens, he stands trial…
Hortense Larcher
Her marriage to Daniel all but over, Hortense has returned home as her husband stands trial. Her relationship with former Nazi intelligence chief Heinrich Müller may be over, but the memory of it consumes her – and she clings to any hope that Müller may somehow return to Villeneuve for her…
Heinrich Müller
Müller, the Nazi intelligence chief throughout the Occupation, is in American custody in Germany as the season begins. Wanted for war crimes by both the French and the Soviets, his relationship with Hortense is nothing but a distant memory – but will the flames rekindle on his secret return to Villeneuve?

Bériot, director of the school and a former resistance leader, finds his tenure as mayor of Villeneuve ended as new elections are called. His marriage to Lucienne nothing but a facade, he takes out his political frustrations on her, instructing her not to speak and forbidding her from teaching.
Lucienne Bériot
A schoolteacher, Lucienne’s love affair with the young German officer Kurt Wagner led to the birth of their daughter, Françoise, and ended in tragedy.

Gustave is the son of the late Resistance leader Marcel, and the nephew of Daniel and Hortense. He spent most of the war with his uncle.
