While investigating the roundup and deportation of more than 13,000 Jews in occupied Paris in 1942, American-born journalist Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas) uncovers the story of a girl who lived in the apartment in the Marais where Julia's husband grew up. To save her little brother, 10-year-old Sarah (Mélusine Mayance), locked him in a hidden closet in the apartment, but then was unceremoniously shuttled off to the Vélodrome d’Hiver, where in cramped and unsanitary conditions, she and her mother and father were forced to wait for days for transport to a prison camp outside of Paris, where they were then separated, and her mother and father shipped off to Nazi concentration camps outside of France.
