Description

In 1943, 13-year-old Fanny and her two younger sisters are sent from their home in France to an Italian foster home for Jewish children. When the Nazis arrive in Italy, their caretakers desperately arrange for the children to depart for Switzerland. Suddenly on their own, the children, led by the fearless Fanny, will do the impossible to reach the Swiss border and freedom. This incredible tale of bravery, strength, and survival centers around a daring young girl who will stop at nothing and fears no one. Director Lola Doillon saw over 10,000 actors before choosing her young, expressive cast. You won’t want to blink for fear of missing a moment of this captivating true story. It’s the perfect feel-good movie, winner of Audience Awards all over the world.
