Paris, 1941. Because it has become too dangerous in the occupied capital, the Jewish Joffo family plans to flee to southern France, which is not yet in German hands. Traveling together would be too conspicuous, so the parents send ten-year-old Joseph and his older brother Maurice on their way alone. A dangerous adventure awaits the boys, for no one must know that they are Jews. But thanks to their courage and resourcefulness, they manage to escape the occupiers time and again. Will they succeed in seeing their family again in freedom? The touching film adaptation of the bestseller based on the life story of Joseph Joffo tells in great pictures about two brothers who defy all odds on their way to freedom. The film impresses above all with the outstanding performance of the actors, above all the two young leading actors Dorian Le Clech and Batyste Fleurial Palmieri, who do not need to hide next to renowned colleagues such as Patrick Bruel (THE FORENAME) and Christian Clavier (MONSIEUR CLAUDE AND HIS DAUGHTERS).
