Starring Cécile de France, Patrick Bruel, Ludivine Sagnier, Mathieu Amalric
As an adult, François (Mathieu Amalric) puzzles over his boyhood self, a nervous child haunted by fantasies of a phantom brother. François comes to explore the history of a family struggling to survive during the Occupation, and forced to decide between declaring and concealing their Jewish identity. François's elegant mannequin mother is played by Cécile de France, but behind the image of an ideal French family is the story of another child, another mother (Ludivine Sagnier) and a tragic tale of emotional rivalry.
