This film follows the saga of a Jewish family in post-World War II Paris. The 15-year-old son discovers a dark family secret that ties his family’s history to the Holocaust and shatters his illusions forever. Adapted from Philippe Grimbert’s celebrated truth-inspired “Memory: A Novel.” The New York Times film critic said: “The elegiac tone of this rueful romantic tragedy . . . recalls ‘The Garden of the Finzi-Continis’” and “haunting . . . impressive . . . exquisite, beautifully acted.”
