Film Synopsis

Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss between two boys living in Nazi - occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie - until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer - director Malle's own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

Also available as part of the 3 Films by Louis Malle Box Set.
