Trivia
The first film to deal with the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup and France's responsibility in the deportation of its Jewish citizens to Nazi Germany and was only able to go into production ten years after the script was written, due to its controversial nature. Three later films also go into the events, namely Mr. Klein (1976), La Rafle (2010) and Elle s'appelait Sarah (2010), the first and last of which through a fictional storyline. The complicity of France was only officially recognized 53 years after the events, in 1995, by President Jacques Chirac.

Vel d Hiv

A very special film. For atmosphere, not comfortable truth, for acting, well crafted tension and essential truths defining a dar period of france history, admitted, official, only in 1995.

A young man having as purpose to save jews in the day of their transport to veldrome.

Refuses, resignation. A young woman, only accepting his help.

And an adventure with fantastic sparkles, in which the complicity of people with autorities becomes hidious but, for this, so realistic, the help from a pimp becomes only shiny scene and the last scene is real special.

A film about fear and acceptance, youth and connection steps, admirable as a sort of exorcism against the silence about past. .
