A Jewish girl's story opens wounds from France's wartime past in this drama from director Gilles Paquet-Brenner. Living in Paris while her architect husband Bertrand (Frederic Pierrot) restores his family's apartment block, writer Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas) stumbles across the wartime history of the block's original Jewish owners, who were arrested by the Vichy government as part of the notorious Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of 1942 and forced to sell their property. As the story unfolds, Julia becomes increasingly haunted by the fate of ten-year-old Sarah Starzynski (Melusine Mayance), who, after being detained, escapes in a desperate attempt to return to the block where she has secretly hidden her younger brother.
Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (I’ve Loved You So Long, The English Patient) stuns in this incredibly moving drama. Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten-year old girl, is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night. Desperate to protect her younger brother, Sarah locks him in a bedroom cupboard – their secret hiding place – and promises to come back for him as soon as they are released. Sixty seven years later: Sarah’s story intertwines with that of Julia Jarmond (Scott Thomas), an American journalist investigating the roundup. In her research, Julia stumbles onto a trail of secrets that link her to Sarah, and to questions about her family’s future.
