Marseille, late fall, 1940.
France has been occupied by the Germans and the collaborationist Vichy regime has been allowed to exist in the south. American liberals are stunned at the fall of France and horrified by German (and now French) anti-intellectualism and anti-Semitic brutality. These liberals form the Emergency Rescue Committee hope to spirit away as many European artists and intellectuals as they can manage.
Villa Air-Bel is about documentation, virtue, and desperation. It is a small, intense live action game about staplers and hard choices.
