In 1953, a French boy finds out from a neighbour that his family is Jewish. An exploration of a dark family secret and the story of a passion, told through the interior journey of François, a solitary child who invents a brother and imagines his parents’ past.

A late offering from the French director Claude Miller (who was Truffaut’s protégé!), A Secret is a fractured yet beautifully crafted, time-hopping melodrama about one family’s painful history. It was impressively nominated for 11 Cesars, including Best Picture, Screenplay, Director, and Actress!
