A Love To Hide

A Love To Hide Paris in the spring of 1942. Jean and Philippe, secretly a gay couple, are sheltering a young Jewish woman – Jean’s childhood friend Sarah who has assumed a new identity after her family has been killed by the Gestapo. For a while the trio balances their lives while working at Jean’s family-owned laundry. It seems they will get through these dark days. But just when you think you’re settling into some superior soap opera the film becomes much deeper and tragic. Jean’s collaborationist brother is jealous of Jean’s closeness to Sarah and enacts a simple plan that goes horribly wrong. Soon all three are swept up in the ferocious horror of one of history’s most shameful and appalling episodes. This very moving film, full of fascinating detail, art direction and design is much more than a riveting costume drama. Emotionally raw and wonderfully acted, A Love To Hide has much to say about the difference between what people do and what their countries do in their name. It addresses the simple, everyday way we forget who and what is important and how we could all become collaborators and not fight the good fight.
