France, 1940. Defying logic, Janot Reichenbach, a wealthy Jewish woman, decides to not flee the German-occupied country with her husband and son.


Instead, she joins socialist politician and three-time Prime Minister Léon Blum, whom she fell madly in love when she was only sixteen and was kept apart from for all these years. Determined to stay with Blum at all costs, she follows him as he is moved from Vichy France to Buchenwald, where they are both imprisoned.


Elsa Zylberstein (I’ve Loved You So Long) shines as a woman who is willing to sacrifice all she has for love.
