On the night of 16 July 1942, ten year old Sarah and her parents are being arrested and transported to the Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris where thousands of other jews are being sent to get deported. Sarah however managed to lock her little brother in a closet just before the police entered their apartment. Sixty years later, Julia Jarmond, an American journalist in Paris, gets the assignment to write an article about this raid, a black page in the history of France. She starts digging archives and through Sarah's file discovers a well kept secret about her own in-laws.

I just could not get into the modern half of the story. It's a running problem I have with these sorts of books (and the movies they inspire). A period piece with an interesting story that is a large focus of a narrative is never enhanced by flipping forward to terribly link two stories together. If I read the book, I would have hated it in the end, and would not have watched the movie. It also felt extremely weird how fast the plot rocketed past the traumatic Vélodrome d'Hiver event. It felt like it should have been a larger part of the run time in general, but was overall treated as a minor event. The movie by itself is shot fine and well acted, but the source material/plot was extremely underwhelming in what should have personally been a grand slam.
