le silence de la mer
Le Silence de la mer (The Silence of the Sea) is a French novel written during the summer of 1941 and published in early 1942 by Jean Bruller (Vercors). Published secretly in World War II-era German-occupied Paris, the book quickly became a symbol of mental resistance against Axis occupiers.
This also refers to the adaptations based on the novel, such as:
