Overview
In an attempt to flee Nazi-occupied France, Georg assumes the identity of a dead author but soon finds himself stuck in Marseilles, where he falls in love with Maria, a young woman searching for her missing husband.
This was really a nice little story. I am not sure how best to describe it and I can’t think of another film quite like it. In a sense it was quite surreal in that the backdrop was the middle of World War 2 yet the movie takes place in modern-day France. I thought that this was going to be distracting but it really wasn’t. The acting was excellent and I believe the ending was very true to the rest of the story.
