For a Woman (original title: Pour une femme) is a 2013 French drama film directed by Diane Kurys.

In 1946, just after World War II Soviet Jewish immigrants Léna and Michel arrive in Paris after escaping a concentration camp during the Holocaust and crossing the Alps.

Jean soon makes himself indispensable to Michel, helping him to procure hard to find cloth and transforming his business to ready-to-wear instead of custom made suits.

Eventually returning home Jean tells Michel that he works for the GRU, abducting and repatriating Red Army soldiers who have defected to the Free World.

Jean refuses to sleep with her and angrily criticizes Michel after they hear news about the award winning and recently published memoirs of Soviet defector Victor Kravchenko over the radio.

Michel calls Kravchenko a traitor who defected out of Capitalist greed and who deserves to die, but Jean correctly accuses the Soviet NKVD of reopening Nazi death camps and filling them with political prisoners.

Michel is approached by French police who tell him his brother is wanted for murder after killing an Alsatian who he had been wrongly believed to be an ex-Nazi.

Léna goes to visit him and Jean reveals that he really works for the Irgun and his actual mission is finding and killing Nazi war criminals before they can escape Europe.
