On 27 November 1942, the French fleet - the fourth in the world after Great Britain, the U.S. and Japan - sank in the port of Toulon. It was not an enemy attack but the French themselves who sent their warships to the bottom of the sea. Of the 173 ships in Toulon harbour, more than 85 have gone to ground. It was a disaster from which the French Navy would find it hard to recover. How did things get this far? Who gave the orders? Who executed them? The answer to these questions lies in the painful history of collaboration of the army. Caught in the tangled web of its contradictions, the navy resorted to the most desperate act of all ... the scuttling of its own fleet. A scenario that was set in motion by the events of June 1940 and would inevitably lead to this disastrous outcome. Many books have been written on this event - often by former sailors - but no film exists. This documentary offers a narrative that is both documented and lively with a fresh historical take, based on filmed and photographic archives, testimonies from historians and survivors as well as fictional reconstruction scenes and 3D sequences that create a natural dramatic progression of the story.
