Occupied France 1944. When a new boy, Jean Bonnet, arrives at a convent school 12 year-old Julien senses difference. The boy is picked on by the others and protected by his teachers. This is an autobiographically based film in which Malle recreates the world of his childhood (Julien is his alter ego) without sentimentality but with a touch of idealisation in the portrayal of the relationship between the two boys and a hint of reverence in the portrayal of Bonnet/Kippelstein. In capturing the intimacy of life in an enclosed community during the Occupation, Malle makes the everyday realities of the Holocaust more comprehensible.
