Sarah's Key

While a pregnant French journalist (Kristin Scott Thomas) begins to renovate a Paris apartment with her husband (Frédéric Pierrot) in this compelling, well-acted, heartbreaking, 2010 film, she discovers an unusual connection between her family (Michel Duchaussoy, et al.) and a Jewish couple (Natasha Mashkevich and Arben Bajraktaraj) with two children who were torn apart in July 1942 when the French police began arresting Jews during the infamous Vel' d'Hiv Roundup and a young, guilt-ridden girl (Mélusine Mayance) tries desperately to return to the Paris apartment to find her younger brother (Paul Mercier) with the help of a compassionate French couple (Niels Arestrup and Dominique Frot).
