During the Second World War, life on board ship was dangerous, poorly paid and often brief: one in four British merchantmen died - a far higher casualty rate than any of the armed services. But their bravery and sacrifice has barely been acknowledged: "Coming back from the sea in the merchant navy I was actually getting assaulted at bus stops - accused of being an army dodger," says one merchant mariner. In Forgotten Heroes the merchant seamen who braved the North Atlantic storms and the deadly U-boats to keep Britain supplied during the war tell their own brave and moving stories.

"I like those cities who don't reveal themselves easily. In Scotland I prefer Glasgow to Edinburgh; in the United States I feel more comfortable in Chicago than New York....Lyons doesn't give herself over easily, she has to be won over. It's the complete opposite to Paris."

Bertrand Tavernier returns to the city of his birth, one of the great, yet least-known cities of France. In the company of his father, who was in the Resistance and edited a literary journal in the city during the war, Tavernier searches out those places which still hold memories for both men.
Referring to his own films including The Watchmaker of St Paul and Une Semaine de Vacances the film reveals the influence of this secretive city on one of the great film-makers of modern French cinema.
