Le Vieil homme et l’enfant

When the Nazis invade France, the family of Jewish child Claude (Alain Cohen) ships him out to a rural setting where he is less likely to be discovered by German soldiers. There, an aging couple, Pepe (Michel Simon) and Mèmè (Luce Fabiole), take in Claude and quickly grow close to him. Pepe, however, an unrepentant anti-Semite, has no idea the boy is a Jew, and the discovery of Claude’s religious background could destroy their intimate friendship — or help Pepe overcome his prejudices.
