a very touching movie with fine acting

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2003)

You could say this is a war-movie, but it's told from a very original POV. You see how the children in the school cope with the war and the occupation by the Germans. The tensed atmosphere in the local boarding school is very well set when a couple of new boys arrive. Rather by accident Julien finds out they're Jewish and that the priests are hiding them. Sadly the boys are discovered and taken away by the Germans in a very touching, though not melodramatic end.
If you want to see a war-movie which shows another side of the occupation, and you like to see a bit of fine acting, this is the one to see!
