Farewell, Mr. Haffmann
BAFTA-winner Daniel Auteuil (La Belle Époque) and Gilles Lellouche (Sink or Swim) star in this French historical drama about a Faustian pact between a Jewish jeweller and his assistant in 1940s Occupied Paris.
All members of the Jewish community are instructed to come forward and identify themselves to authorities. Dedicated jeweller Joseph Haffmann (Auteuil), fearing the worst, arranges for his family to flee the city and offers his employee François Mercier (Lellouche) the chance to take over his store until the conflict subsides. But his own attempts to escape are thwarted, and Haffmann is forced to seek his assistant’s protection.
