‘A beautiful, well acted and extremely moving film****’ Gay Times

Paris 1942, Nazi Germany tightens its grip on occupied France. Thousands of Jewish families are sent to camps. Jean is helping his family get by, but his biggest secret is his biggest liability – his boyfriend Phillipe. A gripping portrayal of prejudice and the lengths people will go to, to reunite with their loved ones.

"Films such as this could stumble on the clods of poor taste or sensationalism, but this film avoids all that and instead brandishes a script that is intelligent, powerful, understated, and immensely moving. The cast is absolutely brilliant and the production fully realizes the look, the sound, and the feeling of Paris under Nazi occupation. This is one of the more moving films this viewer has ever seen: it will be added to the personal library for sure" Review

"This is one of the best films I have ever seen, rarely has a film combined suspense, pathos, intelligence, sadness and humor in such a tight and heart wrenching narrative. The standing ovation and the continuation of the applauds that lasted a good five minutes is a small indication of how well received this master piece was. CLASS from the word go, a must see, especially in today's atmosphere where dark clouds that are looming over our horizons" IMDb

A brilliant, and at times distressing film that inevitably contains scenes of cruelty
