Having said that, this film tells a different, and important story. Set in France, Sarah, and her family are arrested by the French police (who assisted in the deportation of Jews, hence Chirac's 1995 apology), but unbeknownst to the police, Sarah has hidden away her younger brother in a closest. Sarah soon realises her mistake, and makes every possible effort to return to save her brother.
The movie is set in two times, during WWII, and in the present, where Julia, a journalist is moving into Sarah's wartime home, and writing and article on the history of the parisian jews during the war.
Julia unravels the story as the movie proceeds, and the consequences for the present day survivors in the film are just as strong as the plot in the past. The tale had me in tears in a few scenes...
The movie deserves a 10/10 in my book, being one of the best movies on the topic I've seen. Definately a must see.
