In Paris’s picturesque Montmartre district in 1942, three children wearing a yellow star play in the streets, oblivious to the darkness spreading over Nazi-occupied France. Their parents don’t seem overly concerned, putting their trust in the Vichy Government. But beneath the surface, their world is ending.
