Adapted by Claude Miller and based on a true story, this is the splendid and moving saga of a Jewish family in post-war Paris, told through the eyes of a frail & intelligent young boy who senses something is amiss with his beautiful parents.
On his fifteenth birthday a family friend tells him a shattering truth - tying his family's past to the Holocaust - that may enable him to develop his own sense of self.
This wholly absorbing tale is a superbly drawn study of human behaviour.
