Iveton was born in 1926 in Algiers to a Spanish mother and a French father who was a member of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA) which Fernand also joined. He later became a member of the FLN and in 1956 planted a bomb in his workplace, a gas works. In order to not kill anybody, he placed the bomb in his locker and set the timer so that the bomb would explode when the workplace was empty. Because of his political record, Iveton was closely watched and the bomb was found before it could explode. Iveton was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death after a one-day trial and was guillotined in 1957. 

 The film is a moving account of Fernand's ordeal and of the enduring love between Fernand and his wife Hélène who became the wife of a traitor after his arrest, but refused to abandon him to his fate.
