In Nazi-occupied France, Julien (Jerome Deschamps), a French railroad worker finds a scrap of paper bearing the words, "I’m alive and I love you" underneath a sealed boxcar filled with Jews being deported to a concentration camp. He follows the vaguely worded address on the back of the paper to discover the elderly parents of Sarah, who wrote the note, and her 4-year-old son Thibaut, who have been hiding from the Nazis. Julien, who has up to this point avoided getting himself involved with the Resistance, finds himself feeling responsible for the family. He returns again to find the grandparents gone and the child alone. He takes responsibility for the boy in a heartwarming story about moral responsibility and the power of love during war. |
