A talented jeweller, Joseph Haffmann (Daniel Auteuil) and his family live a comfortable life in the business district of Paris in 1941.
But after the Nazi occupation, Joseph watches helplessly as fellow Jews are extracted from the city at gun point. So he hurriedly enacts a plan to send his family to safety and for his newly appointed assistant, Francois to "buy" his jewellery business. Their understanding is that Joseph and his family will return and reclaim the business and their lives once the war has ended. But Joseph is unable to leave and must live, hidden in the store with the help of Francois.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
