Kristin Scott Thomas plays Julia, a reporter for an American news magazine and she sets out to write an article on one of the darkest chapters in the history of France -- about the summer of 1942, when the French police fetched thousands of Jews from the Jewish quarters of Paris, and locked them up in the Velodrome d’hiver arena, waiting for being shipped off to the concentration camps. It turns out that the apartment Julia and her family are about to move into hides some dramatic secrets.

The apartment has belonged to Julia’s husband’s family since 1942 and before that, there lived a little Jewish girl called Sarah. Told in parallel with Julia’s research, we get to follow the life of Sarah, from her quick decision to lock her little brother up in a hidden closet when the police knocks on the door, via her life in the camp where she -- always holding the key to the closet in her hand -- tries to escape over and over again so that she can rescue her brother (but what do you think he looks like after spending several months locked up in a closet without food and water? Yup, that’s right...), and up until her life as a young woman of freedom.
