Two young Jewish brothers, forced to escape Nazi-occupied Paris, must separate from their family and find their way to safety, relying only on their courage and cunning, a bit of luck, and the occasional kindness of strangers. A suspenseful family-friendly adaptation of the acclaimed memoir of Joseph Joffo, A Bag of Marbles is filled with stunning scenery, remarkable characters, and a captivating story that audiences will find hard to forget. (Adult content: language, violence)
