Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – The Future Awaits

A tense, intimate wartime chamber piece unfolds as a Jewish family in Nazi-occupied Paris is forced into hiding during the terror of the July 1942 roundups. Thirteen-year-old Tauba (sensitively portrayed by young actor Violette Guillon) is confined with her Polish-born parents to a cramped attic offered by a compassionate Parisian couple who risk everything to protect them. Fear, hunger, and crushing uncertainty shape each day. As her parents sink into despair, the girl’s unwavering spirit glows through small sparks of imagination and wonder. Drawn from Shoah Foundation testimony and crafted with lyrical restraint, this stirring true story, a Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival Holocaust Representation Award winner, honors a remarkable fight for survival and the small acts of everyday heroism.
