In Germany-occupied France, Maurice and Joe are young Jewish brothers whose father runs a barber shop, and the family lives a warm and happy life. Until the Nazis demanded that all Jews must sew a yellow six-pointed star on their coats to distinguish them, due to the prejudice against Jews at that time, the attitude of classmates towards them also began to change.
Seeing that the situation of the Jews was getting more and more embarrassing, the father ordered the two brothers to flee to the free zone first, and the family agreed to meet in Nice. Before leaving, his father told no one to tell anyone their Jewish identity. On the train leaving, they really saw the Nazi persecution of the Jewish people with their own eyes. During the long escape, the Nazis seemed to be everywhere, and their amazing wit and courage as well as the help of strangers allowed them to escape the threat of death again and again. The two brothers depended on each other for reunion with their families. The help of the godfather on the run, the protection of the delivery master and the care of Dr. Rosen, the false certificate of the Catholic godfather saved them from death threat after death. The two brothers depended on each other on the long way to escape. I remember that once my younger brother Joe was limping when his feet were worn out, and the elder brother Maurice carried his younger brother without hesitation, saying, because you are my younger brother, if you want, I will carry it. lead you to the end of the world. But Joe also has a non-Jewish friend, Zerati, who fights together. When he sees Joe being discriminated against, he takes the initiative to tell Joe to exchange marbles for five-pointed stars. While hiding, Qiao also met a girl she liked, although she was unfortunately separated from her in the end. Life is always full of twists and turns, but don't give up no matter what, look forward bravely, there will always be different scenery on the road.
