Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (I've Loved You So Long The English Patient) stuns in this incredibly moving drama. Paris July 1942: Sarah a ten-year old girl is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night. Desperate to protect her younger brother Sarah locks him in a bedroom cupboard - their secret hiding place - and promises to come back for him as soon as they are released. Sixty seven years later: Sarah's story intertwines with that of Julia Jarmond (Scott Thomas) an American journalist investigating the roundup. In her research Julia stumbles onto a trail of secrets that link her to Sarah and to questions about her family's future.
