A historically grounded wartime drama centered on vulnerable children in hiding, balancing the darkness of Nazi persecution with moments of human protection and resilience.

In August 1942, during the Second World War, Six Jewish children are trying to escape the Nazis. They are hidden by the resistance in the Chambord Castle, where paintings from Le Louvre are being stored as well. The Nazis are looking for paintings from private collections that would be hidden there as well.
