Sarah's Key is a stunning film that uncovers the story of what became of Sarah a little girl rounded up in the Vel d'Hiv Round-up in 1942.
Kristen Scott Thomas is a journalist in 2009 who is writing a piece about the Round-up, which seems to have been forgotten by history. She discovers the apartment that she is about to move in to was once home to Sarah and her family, and gradually uncovers the story of what happened to Sarah, which has consequences for her in the current day. Mélusine Mayance who plays the young Sarah is outstanding and will bring you to tears on a number of occasions. The film is in English and French and I always think it is the sign of a really good film when you forget that you are reading it.
If you can find it showing go and see it.
