Based on a stage play, this movie is a fictious story of the unsafe situation of jews in WW2 occupied Paris.
The story takes place over the period from early 1941 - not long after the Nazi's occupied part of France - until the end of 1942. It focusses on a jewish jeweler and a french family.
Since the story is based on a stage play, it takes place on a very small area: i.e. Mainly the building in which the jewelry (work)shop is located. So you will not see anything from occupied Paris. Neither will you see much military action or many WW2 props.
Overall, I think it is a basic story which does't provide or educted you on significant events that took place during WW2.
The very excellent roleplay that the actors treat you with, will make this movie still a worthwile viewing experience. Their acting is of such level that they were able to keep my attention fully caught on the events.
Concluding, I score this movie with 6.3/10, resulting in a IMDb rating of 6 stars.
