parable

A story of war. A young woman decides make real her dream. So, with fake identity papers, she can ignore the anti - Jew legislation in france, cutting the connection with family and her boyfriend.But the things goes wrong. She is arested, and the return to home offers a radical different perspective.A film about France under occupation but, more significant, a beautiful crafted, in Bertrand Tavernier style, parable about small things defining us.The mix of bitterness and cold attitude about mother and fiancee , the novel of the last, dedicated to her, the Resistence officer and the protector of Natalia , her friensd and, presumed denuncer are the pieces of a large game about a sort of Faustian pact and its high price.

You gain the world but lose your soul.

Natalia has left her native Poland for France with her family.She wants to become a movie star and nothing will stop her in her thirst for glory .Being a Jew in an occupied France makes the matters worse :she has to deny her own parents,her fiancé ,and to work with a false passport .Little by little,she will lose her own identity .It's before Bertrand Tavernier 's "Laissez-Passer" ,the first movie taking place in the movies milieu in the dark days of the Occupation.
