Several families hiding in a cellar to escape from the civil war raging outside in Paris during the Paris Commune. At the end of the Franco-Prussian war, Parisian socialists refused to surrender Paris to the rightwing French government, which led to bitter fighting on the streets of the city and large-scale executions of Communards.
