About the Film
An unlucky French deserter stumbles into a misguided scheme that upends his family’s fate under Nazi occupation, launching a spirited wartime dramedy that nimbly mixes danger with disarming humor. Stranded in 1940s occupied France, hapless Jean Chevalin seizes on an outlandish plan to pose as Jewish, hoping the ruse will persuade local smugglers to guide his family to the free zone. The deceit quickly spirals into comic mishaps, mistaken identities, unlikely alliances with Resistance fighters, and perilous close calls that test their assumptions and reveal hidden reserves of courage and heart. Anchored by Benoît Poelvoorde’s endearing turn, this warm, fervent adventure offers an unexpectedly buoyant take on moral awakening and the surprising ways human folly can rise to meet history.

Director(s): Pascal Elbé
Type: Narrative Feature
