Sarah's Key DVD
Based on Tatiana de Rosnay’s best-selling novel, Sarah’s Key tells the story of Sarah (Melusine Mayance), a ten-year old girl taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night. We’re in Paris, July 1942.
Desperate to protect her younger brother, Sarah locks him in a bedroom cupboard - their secret hiding place - and promises to come back for him as soon as they are released.
Sixty seven years later: Sarah’s story intertwines with that of Julia Jarmond (Oscar Nominee Kristin Scott Thomas: I’Ve Loved You So Long, The English Patient), an American journalist investigating the roundup.
What starts off as research for an article ends up as a journey towards self-discovery as she stumbles upon a terrible secret and discovers the heart breaking story of this Jewish family forced out of their home, a home that is now her own.
As she starts to see, live, and breathe through Sarah, her world is turned upside down.
Kristin Scott Thomas received a Cesar Award nomination for her compelling performance in this role.
Sarah's Key is released 28th November
