Adapted by Claude Miller from Philippe Grimbert's autobiographical novel, this is a splendid and moving saga of a Jewish family in post-war Paris, told through the eyes of a frail and intelligent young boy, who senses something is amiss with his beautiful parents Tania and Maxime (C'cile De France and Patrick Bruel).
