THE WHITE BIRD

MEMORIES

COURAGE

I am sorry.

Hey.

Hello. Is it busy here?

Not.

- You're new, right? - Yes.

are you free on wednesday

My friends and I started a club and we need new people.

And if you're not a fan of it, then at least get some ideas.

We are planning a trip to Washington for a human rights rally.

Okay, I'll take that into account.

- In general, if you decide... - Hello.

You're Julian, right?

I'm Dillon.

My mother plays tennis with your mother.

She asked me to take care of you.

Cold.

Did you happen to go to Beecher Prep?

Yes. In primary school.

Then I transferred to Union Tech.

"Union"? I beat you in contests.

Yes, it happened.

Look, if your mom asks, I found you, okay?

And some advice for the future.

This is a table for losers.

If you want, stay with us tomorrow.

GOOD. May be…

Hello. how is the new school

WE WILL BE HOME UNTIL 10:00 PM

Who is there?

This is!

Grandma, you can't scare me like that!

Excuse me, mon cher. I could not resist.

Well, come here, come on, come on.

I flew here from Paris! Aren't you happy with me?

Did you forget I'm coming?

No, I remembered, I forgot you were arriving today.

My parents recently left. They have an important event today.

With your father's colleagues.

Yes, as usual.

Good. A meal for two, please.

Dad told me about your exhibit at the Metropolitan.

"Retrospectively".

They suggest I'm old, but politely.

Grandma... I am 15 years old.

Listen.

Well, tell me about yourself.

What are you doing at your new school?

I've only been there for a week, so I haven't made any friends yet.

Although a guy talked to me here…

He looks like an athlete.

He and his friends don't seem to mind going out with me.

Great, isn't it?

I do not know. It can be.

I'm trying to fit in.

I still live like I did at my old school.

This?

Julian, you haven't left the old school.

You have been expelled.

Because you assaulted another boy.

Never mind, you got me.

He taught me old school

that there is no need to stick your neck out.

You don't have to be good or bad,

just normal.

Is this the lesson you learned?

To be normal?

And what's wrong with that?

Nothing.

That's all.

At your age I wanted to be normal too, but...

But what?

I'm sure your father told you what happened to me

when i was a girl

Little bit.

He said you don't like to remember.

This is true.

But now, I think for your sake I must.

See that glass paper?

Give it here.

Do you know the name of the town in France where I grew up?

Oberdeen ?

Aubervilliers-au-Bois.

It is located in the Daisy Mountains.

Surrounded by ancient Mernui forest.

It was dark and scary in this forest.

Ancient legends told of giant wolves,

who scoured the thicket in winter.

But in the spring the forest came to life: leaves appeared on the trees,

and the birds were returning from warmer climes.

And then at the beginning of May a miracle happened.

The forest hyacinths were blooming.

It was real magic.

Seeing it live was like a fairy tale.

And who came?

This is my happiest childhood memory.

Berries.

Picnics with parents among fabulous flowers.

Dad, let's fly.

- Again? - Only faster.

Well then.

"Come up," I said to the bird.

With just one beat of her wing she split the sky.

"You are smart and proud," I told the bird.

Faster than a sparrow, whiter than a crane.

"Look away," I told the bird.

Captivity is not scary for a free soul.

We live in a nice apartment in a good neighborhood.

My father was a surgeon.

And my mother was a math teacher.

We weren't rich, but we couldn't be called poor either.

I admit, I was a little spoiled.

Although, of course, it did not seem so to me at the time.

Hopa!

Take care, girls.

When life is as beautiful as mine

you don't notice much.

AUTUMN 1942

2 years have passed since Paris capitulated to Germany.

And in honor of this event, our beloved city was visited

by none other than Herr Hitler himself.

He looks at you.

Come on!

Oh, here we go again.

We'll be in the basement.

If someone asks me,

I'm lying at home with a cold.

Cold?

The sound has improved.

I changed the pinch roller.

Hello.

How do you like it?

Wait, do you have a new jacket?

A beauty.

It looks very expensive!

And here's the lame one.

Take his crutch.

So and so.

Well, jump.

- Yes, he has to go to the circus. - Come on!

Even his crutch smells.

Hey Turto, let's race?

Poor Turto.

They are so bad.

It's not his fault that his father infected him with polio.

No one infected him, he was just unlucky.

Mom says he got infected because his dad works on the sewer system.

That's why it smells like that.

I didn't even know his name.

We all call him Turto.

In French it means "crab".

He got this nickname because of his gait.

To tell you the truth, I didn't think about it at all.

Then I thought only of the outfits,

friendship

and my secret passion.

Drawing.

Oh, come, oh, let's enjoy the Day of Happiness, the Day of Joy!

Run after suffering, she called them with satisfaction.

Fate is the way of life.

Fly in and bore them with a fiendish sting

And look at the happy ones.

Thank you Claude, very expressive.

Lamartine is one of the representatives of romanticism.

He was part of a movement that set a new tone for French poetry.

Please don't have fun, Sarah.

SARAH + VANCEN

Da, Miss Petitjean.

This poem raises the issue of understanding time.

We want to control it, but this is impossible.

Well, let's continue tomorrow.

Sarah, can you wait a minute?

Sorry for the note.

Your drawing is of a bird.

can i have a look

Have you shown this to anyone?

For parents only.

at your age

I enjoyed writing.

Poems, stories.

But I didn't show them to anyone.

I thought if my friends found out

or, God forbid, boys,

they will laugh.

Then poetry was the lot of outcasts..

Talent is something to be proud of, Sarah.

Don't give up drawing.

Cold?

You talk like my father.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Reality has its limits.

world of imagination -

unlimited.

See you tomorrow.

Hello Mrs. Ballou.

Hey pierre.

I'll have a chocolate bar.

Here you go.

Thank you.

No need..

Jews ARE NOT SERVED

This?

When?

Today.

Morning.

Do not worry.

I'll find another job, but anyway, I'm already bored of college.

How could you?

There is no one better than you.

It's complicated, Sarah.

Not at all.

Max, no.

This?

A sign appeared on the bakery door today.

"Jews are not served."

I think there will be more such signs soon.

You said that wouldn't happen.

That this is not an occupied area.

Everything is possible..

I was wrong.

It's like a storm, Sarah.

You just have to wait

until it ends by itself.

Last month in Paris the police

arrested nearly 13,000 Jews.

Children too.

They kept them in the velodrome

and then they transported them to Drancy,

- in a concentration camp. - Max, that's enough.

the french police?

France no longer exists.

Vichy is now subordinate to Germany.

You scare her!

France is still there.

We are citizens of this country, we have papers.

I am sorry.

Sarah needs to know what's going on.

In Lyon, Jews must wear yellow stars, as in the occupied zone.

Only those not born here are religious Jews.

Rose, can you even hear yourself?

Do you think they care where we were born?

Or whether or not we go to synagogue?

To them, we are not French - we are vermin that must be destroyed.

Sufficient!

Mother…

Everything will be fine, Sarah.

This is our country and always will be.

Tell her!

Tell me everything is going to be okay.

Everything will be fine.

The wildlife in Africa is very different from that in France.

Geese, hyenas live there...

So learn everything that is written on the board.

We will continue next week.

Sarah?

Wait.

God, what is he doing?

Is it coming towards us?

It was under your desk.

I thought you dropped it.

Thank you.

Please.

Someone fell in love!

He is your friend?

This?

Not. He gave me something back.

And what?

Yeah, so...

Can?

Now now.

Turto clawed at her.

Jerome!

You are terrible.

May I browse?

Did you draw this?

I'm bored.

Nothing special.

Don t talk like this.

I am?

Beautiful.

You have nothing to be ashamed of, you draw great.

For a Jewish woman.

Here! He is, officer!

This is the Jew who cheated us and stole our money.

Jew? Which Jew? I'm not Jewish.

Deceptive!

Jews are NOT REGISTERED

Give these people their money back, Jew.

Bring money! This is!

OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION ANNOUNCED

Maybe this will teach you not to steal from honest people, Jew!

This is!

Not a single Jew, not a Communist, not a Gaullist should remain in France.

It is time to rebuild our country

so that we can be full of pride like the people of Berlin.

This one is from Marseille.

Aaron and Lucy were arrested.

This?

But this is a free zone.

During the raid.

They were probably deported to a camp north of Compiegne.

Pétain appointed Darnan head of the national police.

A fascist, an ally of Hitler's SS, at the head of the police!

It's about time, Rose.

We have to leave while we can.

Just like Rabbi Bernstein and his wife.

So we just..

are we leaving our house?

Everything we have, everything we've worked for?

- Rose. - No, I... I know.

I just don't want to leave in a hurry.

I want to settle things and say goodbye.

We can't afford that.

Know.

No one needs to know.

Very nice Sarah.

Why does everyone hate us so much?

Not all of them, Sarah.

Don't forget that.

But many.

This is true.

I believe,

that in each of us there is light.

It allows us to see into other people's souls.

But for some the lights went out.

They were engulfed in darkness

and they only see her in others.

They hate us because they can't see us.

As the light within us shines,

we are alive

Sorry, Sarah.

We know how hard it is for you.

when should we leave

As soon as possible?

Soon.

No later than next week.

But this is not forever.

Promise?

We promise.

Now promise me something.

Keep wearing winter boots to school.

This?

I waited all winter to wear new ones.

Please, little bird.

For what?

Because I asked.

Fine?

Cold.

Promise?

And.

Thank you.

Good night, Sarah.

We love you.

- Good morning Pastor Luke. - Mademoiselle Bloom.

So A squared

plus B squared equals C squared.

Login.

Mademoiselle Petitjean, may I say a few words?

Surely.

Antoine is here, take the girls out.

Class, I have to step away for a few minutes, so hang in there.

Sarah, Ruth, come with me. Come on, get ready.

And bring your coat.

Good.

Where?

I will explain everything to you on the street.

The rest - stay here.

An arrest of Jews took place in Aubervilliers-au-Bois.

We believe the German officers are on their way to us right now.

- Here? - Partisans will help you,

and other Jewish children to hide in the forest.

Sarah, where is your coat?

At drawing class.

Take my shawl.

Work.

- I'm afraid. - Me too.

I know, but everything will be fine.

Girls, hurry up! Run!

Kids, this is Antoine.

He will take care of you.

But you must do as he says.

You understand?

You all have to be as quiet as mice and run as fast as you can.

Can you handle it?

What is there?

Go to the neighboring yard!

Hurry up!

Give me the list.

Let's run away.

oh sorry

These children did not come today.

Someone must have warned them.

The teachers took them.

I'm still around somewhere.

Thank you, young man.

Your teachers have a lot to learn from you.

Find them!

Children, go back to class.

Move away from the windows and back to class now.

Rapid.

Long live humanity!

Do not be afraid.

We will take you to your parents.

Get in a van.

For God's sake, let him go, I beg you.

Dirty liar. It's worth killing right there.

Not!!

No, they're just kids!

They are Jews.

We have an order.

If you are healthy then leave now and don't mind your business.

"Mind your own business"?

No, these... these are my students and I'm going with them.

Marie!

There is no child here.

There are 14 names on the list.

But, I counted only 13 children.

One is missing.

Sarah.

The soldiers are still looking for you.

please come with me

I will take you out.

Check it out there!

Everything is clean there!

I am sorry.

But this is the safest way.

Where we are?

My father showed me this place.

He has been working in the sewer system for a long time.

No... don't be afraid, the water here is only knee deep.

It seems

Here.

Now now.

Trembling.

And there are still 6 kilometers to Dannvilliers.

What is in Dannville?

My house.

What about my parents?

What if something bad happened?

I'm sure everything is fine with them.

Sarah, we can't stop.

See the house behind the barn?

That is ours.

But I'm afraid you won't be safe there.

The old couple above us pokes their noses into everything.

Dad thinks they're informers.

Do not worry.

The barn is safe.

I am sorry.

Mouse.

If I could bring you to me...

Nothing.

This is true.

It is beautiful here.

What is this?

What is that sound?

These are bats.

They nest in the rafters, but they won't touch you.

There is a lot of hay, you can hide there.

Oh, myself. It's not worth it.

I'm stronger than you think.

We'll bring a few bales of hay and then you'll definitely not be noticed.

Cold?

- I'll be back soon. - Are you leaving?

Just telling my parents about you.

Property.

eu…

I wanted to say…

If not you…

Nothing.

The main thing is that you are here.

I have a request.

And?

Call me by my name, not by this nickname.

eu…

Surely.

Look, I know your last name is Beaumier,

because we are always sitting next to each other.

But…

I'm Julien.

I am sorry.

Thank you Julien.

how is julian doing

Listen.

Your father knew how much that name meant to me.

What happened next?

I met his parents.

Their names were Vivienne and Jean-Paul.

We will do everything we can to find your parents.

In the meantime, you'll have to live here, okay?

This is of course not the Ritz, but it can be comfortable here too.

Can you help me, Julien?

Here.

Try to eat.

And I will arrange a place to sleep.

mom, dad, where are you?

I was strictly forbidden to leave the barn.

So that the neighbors, who liked to poke their noses everywhere, wouldn't find out about me.

Lafleur.

No one was supposed to know about my existence.

Sarah?

eu...

I brought something.

I remember you like to draw.

A moment.

Thank you Julien.

I also brought books.

And homework so you don't fall behind.

Do you want me to explain today's lesson to you?

Or not.

You are very kind to me.

I didn't treat you like that.

And my friends even more so.

I think I always knew that you...

I do not know.

The high.

What if you're wrong?

I doubt.

I am very intelligent.

- Oh really? - Don't think I'm bragging, but...

No, no, of course not.

Vivien and Jean-Paul did everything they could.

But the days turned into weeks and still nothing was known about my parents.

I started to lose track of time.

Each day was similar to the previous one.

There was only one thing that made me happy.

Lessons with Julien.

If A and B are different points,

and AC plus CB equals AB

then C is on the line?

A-B.

Not bad, Bloom.

Then it follows that the triangle CAB is right-angled.

What is this?

eu...

I thought you might want to close this.

For this place to make you feel more at home.

Thank you.

I love Charlie Chaplin.

Know.

This is true?

Well, who doesn't love it now?

Let's get back to the lesson.

After a minute.

You promised me you'd tell me some gossip. Do you remember?

Remember.

Let me think.

You were right about Jean-Marc, he really is in love with Simone.

He told Luke about it in biology class.

I knew it. What else?

Yes now...

Yvette and Agnes still can't figure out which one will perform at the concert.

- Well, of course. - He still would.

Christophe was punished for snoring during Madame Lucienne's lesson.

ABOUT! And at last they found the one who put the sardine on Mr. Gillot's table.

- It was... - Eugene.

That week he failed Gillot's test.

And his father works in a cannery.

Impressive.

Like two plus two.

Speaking of numbers...

Cold.

Well, if angle A and angle B are complementary,

- and angle A is twice... - Julien.

Thanks again.

I'm happy to help.

The situation in the city worsened.

Vincent and some of my other classmates,

recruited by the so-called police -

they formed military associations created by the Nazis.

They were given weapons

and were also required to patrol the city,

and report any suspicious behavior.

Due to the rise of resistance groups in France,

Germany warns that all attempts to destabilize the situation will be suppressed.

Julien.

If someone asks you,

you know what to say.

THE COLOR BLUE

But in the countryside we have the advantage.

We know its characteristics, which road to ambush...

My contact in Toulouse says they will send more equipment.

But only in a few days.

No, it's too long.

My answer is no.

The underground is only for those who are ready to die for freedom.

That's not why I came.

Then why?

I need help.

Are you sure you can trust him?

Sure.

He said that his friend needed several weeks to forge documents.

When they are ready, Georges will help you reach the monastery of Le Moustier.

A nun helps you escape from there to Switzerland.

Switzerland?

It takes five days to get there on foot through the Alps.

Many Jews have already been transported in this way.

You won't be alone.

I think it's safer here.

oh dear

I'm afraid that's not the case.

After the victory at Orleans

Joan persuaded Charles VII to allow her to join the army…

...the Duke of Alençon.

...the Duke of Alençon.

To regain control of points on the Loire.

- Zhanna commanded a little... - Were you there?

On the Loire?

In Switzerland.

I haven't even been to Paris.

I'd go with you if it weren't for my leg.

You really haven't been to Paris?

I've never been outside Dannevilliers, just to school.

This?

This?

Where are you going?

Sarah?

Good?

How do you like Paris?

Uh, the...

He is beautiful.

Oh, it's Star Square ahead.

See?

And?

Julien. Come on, get behind the wheel.

Two.

Just use your imagination.

Try to imagine…

Arch of Triumph.

Beautiful, 50 meters high.

And here...

Place de la Concorde.

See all these cafes?

And the flower shops?

Julien?

You want me to say yes, right?

If you don't try, you won't see.

Reality has its limits.

The peace of imagination - no limits.

Try again.

We drive straight down a comfortable street

in the sixth sector.

Now let's go back

on the embankment of the river Seine.

See the Saint-Michel Bridge?

Beyond.

Now I really see.

And?

- This is true? - This is true.

And there, on the left, is Notre Dame de Paris.

It's amazing.

That's for sure.

Can I confess something?

I do this at least three times a week.

And stay in the barn all day.

Carefully!

Because of her, we won't see the Eiffel Tower.

Not! Please, I really wanted to look at her.

Cold.

The next 3 weeks were very strange.

Time passed incredibly slowly.

But at the same time it flew very, very fast.

Maybe even too fast.

Do you see the leopard?

It has round spots.

- Yes. - That's because we are in East Africa.

In the south, the spots would be square.

You came up with this.

Well, no.

Yes, there.

Wait, Sarah, Sarah, see there? That herd?

These are zebras.

Oh, how beautiful.

And then what?

I was afraid to go to Switzerland.

I knew I would miss the evenings in Julien's company.

He and I created our own world,

while the darkness in the outside world grew stronger and stronger.

George, it's me.

I'm looking for documents.

They are up to something.

What do we have here?

Look.

Let's leave them a message.

That's what happens to traitors.

Let's go.

Come quick!

Hate them.

How I hate them.

I'm so sorry, Julien.

I can't believe he's gone.

Do you remember what I told you about the bird?

I drew it

so you can have it too.

She comes to me in difficult times.

And it gives me hope.

"Come up," I said to the bird.

With just one beat of her wing she split the sky.

"Look away," I told the bird.

Captivity is not scary for a free soul.

Thank you.

My plan to escape the country was thwarted by Georges' death.

The attack on the cinema only preceded a much more terrible phase of the occupation.

The murders began.

Careful!

The Germans set up a new headquarters in Dannvilliers itself.

Jean Paul!

Now there is a much more serious threat,

than the Lafleurs poking their noses everywhere.

The Nazis were everywhere: on every road in the village and beyond.

I had no chance of getting to Switzerland.

The Beumier family tried to make my life more bearable.

Vivien cooked for me

he washed my clothes

and kept me from being bored by amusing myself with short conversations.

And so the whole summer passed.

And only Julien, who came to me at night, prevented me from losing my mind.

The barn became my universe.

And Julien is its center.

- Comfortable. -Da.

We were united by something very important.

We both knew how much people could hate.

And how much courage it takes to remain kind.

Because when someone's kindness can cost you your life,

it becomes almost a miracle.

This is the light in the darkness

that dad was talking about.

Julien became more than a savior for me.

Even more than a friend.

He became my light.

A special journey awaits you, Miss Bloom.

That's great.

where are we going

You'll see.

Close your eyes, okay?

Do you want to go to New York today?

This?

Surely.

Well, then open your eyes.

Julien!

It is amazing.

Look at the theaters.

What is this?

This is the Empire State Building.

Property.

Do you not wash at all? I thought crabs loved water.

Monsieur Beaumier.

Come to my office.

I talked to the teachers

and decided to transfer you to a higher math class.

You will study with high school students.

But I guess they'll have to catch up with you.

Thank you.

Thank you Julien.

Few things bring me joy at a time like this.

You can go back to class.

Goodbye.

You arrived early.

All is well?

My album!

I went to Pastor Luke and saw it on the shelf.

Thank you!

I was so stupid.

Yes, exactly, I tell you.

What happened?

hide yourself And don't show yourself for nothing.

Faster!

Wealth?

Hey Turto.

What happens?

What are you doing here?

I'm just fixing my dad's car.

I saw you took something out of the pastor's office.

This?

Don't even think about denying it.

I forgot the book there. So what?

Yes of course.

I swear he's home, I can show you.

- And then I went to fix it... - You're lying.

Please no.

-What did you steal from Pastor Luke? - Nothing, I just took my book.

You think you're the smartest, right?

- Not. - You're just a non-entity.

A useless cripple. Do you know what the Nazis do to people like you?

Know?

They are destroyed, just like the Jews.

I will do a service to all mankind,

ending your miserable existence.

I think he learned his lesson, Vincent.

Shut up, I'm not done!

Where are you looking, weirdo?

Long live humanity.

What you said?

This?

What kind of creatures are these?

Bats! Go away!

I was so scared for you...

Come back.... They can come back again.

No, they're gone, they're behind us.

I said come back!

- What the? - Are you deaf? Move!

- I just wanted... - I don't care what you wanted.

The world doesn't revolve around you!

Do you know what will happen if they find you?

Know? They will arrest my parents.

They execute them, do you understand that?!

- I didn't think... - Of course you didn't.

You only think about yourself.

You're still the same spoiled girl

who studied with me for 5 years and didn't even know my name.

Please.

Of course.

I am sorry.

Sure.

Julien.

Get back on, Sarah.

Of course.

He hasn't come for a few days.

Give it some time.

He was so angry…

He is no less angry with himself.

But they shouldn't have taken your album in the first place.

It was a big risk for all of us.

It was for my sake.

Well, in dark times

Such small gestures do not allow us to forget humanity.

Long live humanity.

Long live humanity.

A week passed, then another.

But Julien still didn't come.

Insert the needle into the loop,

lift the thread and pull it out.

And repeat.

It works.

- Let's talk about... - It's not worth it.

Cold.

it's not nice...

I hate that you saw me like this.

- How? - A weak one.

- A pathetic, helpless weakling. - Julien...

It's hard to believe, but I was fast.

Before polio, I was the fastest runner in my class.

I still remember what it was like to run.

- To be strong. - You are strong.

This is true.

You are brave too.

You are braver than anyone I know.

Because I walk with crutches?

Going with her is not courage, but necessity.

I'm not talking about that.

Can we close this topic?

I thought about your words.

- That I'm selfish. "I lost my temper and I shouldn't have said that."

But it's true.

You know, if you were the one in trouble, I'd hardly help you.

- I doubt. - This is true.

And I'm sorry.

But you still tried to save me.

We could have been killed because of me.

More likely.

But you were brave.

Just admit it.

Cold.

Thank you.

It's better this way.

Well, back to the game shall we?

And.

There is something else.

This?

Bellot.

Look who won in the end.

Don't flatter yourself.

winter has come

and with it came change.

More and more soldiers arrived.

Main roads have become even more dangerous.

Therefore, Julien began to take the long way to school.

There were other changes as well.

And then, quite unexpectedly, spring came again.

I couldn't wrap my head around it,

that I had been hiding for over a year.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to our Sarah!

Happy Birthday.

I forgot you were here today.

Happy Birthday dear.

Is it really chocolate?

Vivien had been saving food stamps for months.

Make a wish.

Thank you.

Is beautiful.

Well, let's eat cake.

How did you get past Lafleur?

We had a bit of a fight.

God forgive us.

I recently had a tooth pulled.

The doctor prescribed me a pain medicine.

There is something left.

In the morning, my mother mixed it into Lafleurs milk.

Their snoring could be heard even among us.

Someone said there would be dancing.

By itself.

Ms.

I haven't danced in a long time, have I?

Sir?

Thanks for the gift.

- It's a bird. - I noticed.

Radio London interrupts its broadcast for an urgent press release.

The Allies broke through the German defenses and liberated Monte Cassino.

The 1st Parachute Division was defeated,

which allowed the Allies to launch an attack on Rome.

And then France!

That means the war will end soon.

Sarah.

What are you doing here?

It's long past midnight.

I have one more gift.

Walk?

All is well?

And.

I just haven't come out yet...

Let's go.

I have never been in that forest at night.

And I would never go because of the legends of the giant wolves.

But that night

I wasn't afraid.

Mernui

Happy Birthday.

eu…

I want to say something, and if I don't say it now, I won't be able to.

All in all,

if the war really ends soon,

when this happens

you know that in the future that I see for myself,

eu…

Well, I see you too, so would you like to…

And.

But I haven't asked the question yet.

I know the answer.

And.

It's time for you.

Dawn is coming soon.

And.

Oh, I have something for you.

Seriously?

And.

I left you a message.

It's in the middle.

See you tomorrow.

Long live humanity.

I was afraid of the night.

But now it has become for me a moment when I listen to the soul of the world.

The night reveals its secrets to me again and again,

as if singing:

"You love Julien."

"You love Julien."

“Yes,” I reply, “I know.

I love Julien."

This is true.

I loved him.

I didn't have the courage to say it that night.

But I decided that the next night I would do it.

And maybe then he will tell me that he loves me too.

I love you Sarah Bloom!

Julien.

You will be late for school.

good morning mother

Someone is in a good mood.

So what? The sun is shining, the hyacinths are blooming.

Hyacinths?

See you tonight, mom.

I don't know why Julien decided to go to school on the main road that morning.

Maybe he felt a surge of courage.

Or he may have something completely different in mind.

All is well.

Something strange below.

You have to check it out.

Hey you! Cripple!

The documents.

I just go to school, Ecole Lafayette.

We'll take you.

Wait, my bag!

Come on, move. All inside.

But they are waiting for me...

Get on.

Jean Paul.

Your son, Julien...

What the? What happened?

The police took him.

Sarah, right?

Disappeared Jew.

Don't even think about it!

That's where you've been all this time, in Tourto's barn.

His name is Julien.

Raise your hand !

Do not move.

come back.

I said something!

This is a las.

You are!

Where are you going?

- Check it out. - Why were we stopped?

Vivien? Jean Paul?

Vivien? Jean Paul?

Stay where you are.

Don't move or I'll shoot.

Okay, but please...

What are you doing here?

I am Julien Beaumier's friend.

What do you need from us?

Nothing, just looking for Vivien.

Please.

Don't make me shoot.

Stay here.

Sarah?

Rabbi Bernstein?

Bernstein, do you know her?

This is Sarah Bloom.

Her family lived not far from us.

I do not understand.

LaFleur, please put the gun away.

Sarah, what are you doing here?

The Beaumiers hid me in their barn.

They were sure you were informers.

Sarah, the Lafleurs have been hiding us in their attic for almost 2 years.

Today the "Jewish Army" will help us escape from the country.

Come with U.S.

I can't, I have to find Vivien.

Julien was arrested.

I told.

There were no arrests today.

You are lying to us!

No, no, he's just worried. He…

I am sorry.

Let's go.

Ms! Ms.

I know your son.

It was taken this morning.

They took him in a truck along with the patients from the hospital.

They are taken to a POW camp in the mountains.

He can still be saved.

For a good price.

poor boy

Bernstein, spend some time with us.

The driver is already waiting.

We'll take care of the girl until Beumier arrives.

Good luck, old man.

Write to us when you will be in Jerusalem.

God will not forget your kindness.

I'm Vivien!

Vivien!

Sarah!

- Vivien! - What are you...

The Lafleurs hid the Bernsteins for 2 years.

Hurry up, let's go.

How much money is needed?

Much more than we have.

Let's go in my car.

Sarah, you'd better hide in our attic.

Go.

Everyone out! At the exit!

Come on!

Went! Come on, full of life!

- At the exit! - What happens?

The road is closed, you will continue on foot.

At the same time, they go into the bushes.

Get out! Went.

- Get out everyone! - Come on, move!

- Quickly, everyone, leave, quickly! - Faster. Go.

Everything is on the edge.

A mers.

Come on, move.

I ask you!

Do you know where my son is?

Please.

They were all taken to the forest.

Not.

Not.

Ask!

Please, I have money.

For his release.

Let's go.

"Come up," I said to the bird.

With a quick beat of your wing you cut through the sky.

Motion.

- You are smart... - You are smart and proud.

"And the proud one," I told the bird. - I told the bird.

-White crane, -White crane,

- Faster than a sparrow. - Faster than a sparrow.

Let's run away!

They run away!

Now! Now!

Not!

Terrible problems.

Not!

Julien!

- Vivien! - Get in the car now!

Get her out of here or I'll shoot her!

No no no no! no please

No need.

Ask.

Vivien.

Get in the car.

No need. We're leaving.

Come on, quickly.

As soon as the soldiers left,

The Beaumiers returned to the forest.

They searched for Julien all night

and then a few more days.

Julien!

They haven't given up hope that it can

Julien managed to escape.

But deep down, they knew the truth.

And yet, despite the terrible pain,

they took care of me.

I lived with them until the end of the war.

In secret, of course.

But it's not in the barn anymore.

I couldn't be there anymore.

Surrender to the German occupation forces.

In August, the Nazi occupation finally ended.

The Germans were expelled from France.

And when the allied troops gathered near the Arc de Triomphe,

everyone was happy.

I continued to live with Beaumier,

who became my family.

I was glad to go back to school.

But it was not the same as before.

The weeks passed in a blur.

I couldn't stop thinking about what I had experienced.

And about what happened to Julien.

And then one day, when it was early November,

I saw dad.

He sa intors.

He said he is still looking for his mother.

It turned out that he and another doctor escaped the raid by hiding in the morgue.

I introduced him to Beumier.

He couldn't stop thanking them.

That evening my father took me aside.

I felt it would be about my mother.

Sarah.

He tried to hide the truth from me

but I realized that he can't anymore.

He said that on the day of the raid,

- Mother was arrested. - You!

She was sent by train to Drancy.

And from there - to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Dad didn't know how long he was there.

Except that's where he met his death.

I think part of me knew that my mother didn't make it.

I always felt her presence when I saw a white bird.

She gave me hope in my darkest times.

For some time my father and I lived with Beaumier.

And then he found a job in a hospital in Paris,

the city that became my new home.

You will always be like a daughter to me.

I love you.

I visited the Beumier family

throughout life.

And when I married your grandfather,

I was with my father

who led me to the altar.

Much in life is forgotten.

But kindness cannot be forgotten.

Just like love

it remains in the memory forever.

FAMILIA BEAUMIER

And I guess that's where my story ends, mon cher.

Did I upset you?

Yes, but for good reasons.

And do you understand why I decided to tell you about it now, Julian?

I'm going to get another drink.

Oh! Thank you, my dear.

She is known for her influential works,

which are exhibited in museums around the world.

NEVER

And today

we are honored to introduce you

his main works as part of our exhibition series,

dedicated to art activism.

let me introduce you -

one and only one-

Sarah Blum!

Have a good day. Thank you for coming.

Hello! Thank you.

Hello, friend.

It is an honor to be here today.

I have given similar speeches many times before, telling my story.

But for most of my life, I let my creativity speak for me.

I think that's why I became an artist.

To fly away from the pain I needed to know.

But last night I was talking to my teenage nephew

and I realized something.

I understand,

that I don't want to fly anymore

My life was far from normal.

Hate is not normal.

Cruelty is not okay.

I am sorry.

Love is normal.

Kindness is okay.

But just knowing about it is not enough.

Love and kindness must be shared.

It should be part of life.

Listen…

Hello.

I wanted to apologize for yesterday.

It wasn't pretty.

Little bit.

But I'm not offended.

- By the way, my name is Julian. - I'm Ramya.

Sometimes even the smallest actions

i can change everything

So, do you want to come with us to Washington?

Yes. Yes.

A wise man, Martin Luther King, once said…

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness.

Only light can do that.”

My father was of the same opinion.

We must all turn to the light within us,

to end today's injustices.

After all, only then will we be sure that the darkness,

left in the past will never come again.

And what are those...

And that those who gave their lives in the fight for the light,

he did it for a better future.

Long live humanity!

Long live humanity!

Long live humanity!

Long live humanity!

Long live humanity!
