In this disturbingly moving period drama, it’s Paris 1942. Two gay lovers, Philippe and Jean hide their love from their families and from the occupying Nazi army. Philippe works with the Resistance while Jean runs his family business, a dry cleaner. When Jean’s childhood sweetheart Sara shows up their door, her family murdered by the Gestapo, they take her in and nurse her back to health.

Jean’s brother is a collaborator and his dad a sympathizer. Tragedy closes in as Jean is accused of being a member of the “third sex” and having an affair with a Nazi officer. Superb performances from Jérémie Renier (Criminal Lovers) and Bruno Todeschini (Son Frère) as the young lovers are just one piece of this emotional journey. The film features strong attention to details as the Nazi occupation of France is rendered in all its infamous glory complete with outstanding scenes in a ‘40s gay bar. A young Jewish girl looking to escape the clutches of the Third Reich after seeing her parents and sister brutally slain while attempting to make their way to England is sheltered by an old friend whose status as a member of the "third" sex soon leads the Gestapo pounding on his door as well. Betrayed by a smuggler who sat idly by as her family was casually slaughtered by the SS, terrified Sara flees into the comforting care of childhood summer-vacation chum Jean and his faithful lover Philippe. Though safe for the moment thanks to Jean`s quick-thinking plan to pass her off as a Gallic employee of his family`s laundry business, Sara watches in horror as her homosexual protector is forced into a Nazi labor camp as a tragic result of a bad decision made by Jean`s troublesome brother Jacques. Paris 1942. Sara Morgenstern, a young Jewish woman whose family has just been massacred by the Gestapo, finds refuge working in the family-owned laundry of Jean Lavandier, a long-time vacation friend she has always loved. But Jean loves Philippe and their relationship, in these darkest hours of the German Occupation, is just as clandestine and loathsome to both the German occupier and the Vichy government as Sara`s religion. But the delicate balance of their clandestine lives is destroyed by the homecoming of Jean¹s rebellious younger brother Jacques, who has just served a prison term for black market activities. Jacques has always been in love with Sara and is prepared to betray his own brother to win her affections... | ||
