In 1940s Nazi-occupied France, a sharp-witted teenage girl adopts a new identity—Nicole—and joins the Resistance after her cousin is murdered. As she navigates the dangerous underworld of occupied Paris, Nicole must balance grief, espionage, and vengeance to uncover the mole who betrayed them all.

Nicole: Wait for Me is a vivid, emotionally rich WWII drama that follows a rebellious, philosophy-loving farm girl forced into hiding after the Nazis come for her. Reborn as “Nicole,” she flees to Paris and is taken in by her glamorous Resistance-linked cousin, Michelle. When Michelle is found murdered, Nicole is thrust into a world of coded messages, double agents, and whispered secrets in smoke-filled bars. Fuelled by grief and a desire for justice, she infiltrates Maxim’s—the nightclub where high-ranking Nazis drink and plot—using wit, charm, and subterfuge to climb the ranks of the French Resistance.

Nicole’s journey is not just one of survival, but transformation—from angry teen to skilled spy, from outsider to heroine. As Paris burns around her, she must unmask a traitor within their circle before the Resistance collapses from the inside.

Appeal: With whip-smart dialogue, a strong female protagonist, and richly drawn supporting characters, Nicole: Wait for Me delivers a fresh, contemporary-feeling take on the WWII espionage genre. A poignant, feminist-leaning thriller in the vein of A Call to Spy or Charlotte Gray, this is a story for modern audiences craving emotional depth and high-stakes tension. Ideal as a prestige international co-production with French casting potential.
