A decades-old mystery unsolved. A courageous life unknown. A family's secrets untold - until now. Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas) is an American journalist living in Paris with her French husband Bertrand (Frederic Pierrot), assigned to cover the anniversary of France's notorious 1942 Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of Jews in World War II. She's stunned to discover that Bertrand's family apartment was the scenes of an unspeakable incident committed during the way; his family had been concealing a disturbing secret; and a young French girl Sarah (Melusine Mayance) holds the key to unlock the devastating truth.
