Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Magali lives in free France where everyone goes about pretending its life as usual. Yet, many of Magalis refugee friends displaced from their homes and forced into hiding from the Nazis and Vichy collaborators, are anything but free. Magali cant understand why no one, not even God, does anything. Then Paquerette arrives in town, a courier transporting the very small numbers of children she and her organization have persuaded the Nazis to release from the concentration camps. Magali has found the purpose she craves. But In her efforts to save at least a few children from certain death, will her brash words and actions demonstrate courage and maturity beyond her years or a naiveté that will bring danger to those she loves?
