Les Amours secrètes (2010)
Directed by Franck Phelizon

Film Synopsis

It seems incredibly unlikely, but during the Occupation of France a young Jewish woman was passionately in love with a German soldier.  Sarah Rosemblum was 25 when she met Hans, a young officer in the SS.  It was love at first sight, and fortunately for Sarah her lover had long lost his illusions about Nazism.  To evade deportation, Sarah had to change her name to Louise Berger and place herself under the protection of a compassionate cabaret singer, Huguette, who made a habit of offering a sanctuary for Jews in her house and helping them to escape to England. It was here, in this safe refuge, that Sarah was able to pursue her love affair with her beloved Hans. 

But as Sarah carried on her secret romance, little did she know that she was stoking the envy of Robert, a 16-year-old boarder who was nurturing an all-consuming crush on the young woman.  Another person who was unpleased by Sarah's affair with the German officer was Huguette's old mother, Margot, who hasn't spoken a word since the day her son died.  Even with the support of self-sacrificing humanists and résistants, this was a dangerous time to be a Jew in France, and Sarah would have been well advised to leave the country whilst she still could.  But things seldom play out as they should.  Sixty years later, an old man is assiduously thumbing his way through Sarah's long lost diary.  An aura of regret clings to him as he does so...
