This documentary tells the extraordinary story of Mathilde Carré, one of the most controversial figures of the French Resistance during the Second World War. Remembered by the codename "La Chatte" ("The Cat"), Carré began the war as a committed resistance member before becoming one of the most damaging double agents in occupied France. Her actions helped reshape the fate of one of the Allies' most important intelligence networks and remain the subject of historical debate. Following the German invasion of France in 1940, Carré joined the Interallié intelligence network led by Polish officer Roman Czerniawski. Reporting to British intelligence in London, the network gathered vital military information from across occupied France. Intelligent, resourceful, and trusted by her colleagues, Carré quickly became one of its leading members before her arrest by German counterintelligence in late 1941. The documentary examines how her capture by the Abwehr transformed the course of her life. Aft
