Autumn 1942, Chèlinot, France
In the dead of night, the French authorities began moving their country’s Jewish population out of their homes and onto trains, sending them east to the work camps. As the chaos unfolds, the townspeople and their occupiers – once peaceful neighbours and friends – are forced into conflict. They must decide what to do: should they follow orders against their will; stay and resist; or should those that can, flee? Courage and hope play their part in the choices that ultimately decide all of their futures.
