Betrayed by a smuggler who sat idly by as her family was casually slaughtered by the SS, terrified Sara flees into the comforting care of childhood summer-vacation chum Jean and his faithful lover Philippe.

    Most people dont know or forget that quite a few gay men were tortured and killed during WWII.

    This is the story of Sara who is in love with her childhood boyfriend Jean. Problem is Jean is gay and has a boyfriend of his own. Sara's family, brutally killed by a smuggler, goes...( read more) to the only address in Paris that she knows...Jean's family home. He hides her and with the help of his boyfriend gets her a new identity. Things stabilize for while until Jean's younger brother makes his way out of prison and back into his familes life and business.

    If you watch this, and I certainly hope you do, bring kleenex!

    This is a truly hidden and obscure gem. Surprisingly brilliant. Ceritanya berubah total, gw ga nyangka akhirnya filmnya bakal seperti ini...gw kira cuma love story doang, ternyata much more complcated. Hollywood is not capable of doing a movie this good. Highly recommended.

    Awalnya aku sempat 'underestimate' dengan film ini. Tapi setelah aku tonton,ternyata 'luar biasa'.. menyentuh dan sangat mengharukan... Nicholas Gob bener-bener cute abis....

    O filme é um retrato do preconceito contra judeus e gays na França durante a 2a Guerra. Assisti ao filme na semana passada e, confesso, foi o primeiro filme que, em muitos e muitos anos, fez lágrimas escorreram pelo meu rosto. Não é uma obra de arte, mas é uma das obras mais huma...( read more)nas feitas sobre o tema.

    The blending of Jews and Homosexuals in this film was refreshing. Extremely sad to think of what both groups went through at the hands of the Nazis. Liked it a lot, did not love it.

    EXCELLENT MOVIE! I highly recommend you see this movie. A gay love story and more that takes place in France during the Nazi rule of Germany. Very touching and emotional movie. The movie is in French with English subtitles.

    Just, wow...I caught this while channel surfing and didn't know whether to keep watching the whole time through. Unique, powerfully poignant and thought provoking for everyone.

    part of WW2 history that they tend to ignore...

    Powerful, heart wrenching, searing story about a shameful tragedy in world history. At times difficult to sit through but important to see.
