"Un témoignage écrit ouvre le récit qui informe le spectateur de la dette que son auteur, Claude Berri, doit à cette période de sa vie et surtout à certaines personnes. Il raconte un pan de son enfance personnelle. Cʹest lʹété 1943, Claude, un enfant juif de 8 ans, ne veut pas comprendre que cʹest la guerre. Choyé par sa mère qui le nourrit toujours sur ses genoux, souvent grondé par son père qui se désespère de ses bêtises, lʹenfant nʹest pas dupe de la situation tragique. Leurs conditions de vie empirent. Sans cesse traqué, devant déménager à plusieurs reprises, dʹune ville à lʹautre, le couple Langmann décide dʹenvoyer Claude à la campagne afin de le protéger. Lʹenfant est hébergé chez les parents dʹune amie, un vieux couple formé de Pépé, vieil homme bourru, pétainiste et antisémite convaincu, et de Mémé qui raffole du lapin en sauce. Contraint de cacher sa judéité, de savoir par cœur la prière catholique et surtout de ne pas oublier lʹorthographe de son nom dʹemprunt, lʹenfant se prend vite dʹaffection pour Pépé, et bientôt une profonde complicité unit cet enfant perturbé par ses origines à ce vieillard en manque dʹamour et de reconnaissance. Ses parents reviennent reprendre Claude le lendemain du débarquement du 6 juin 1944 et renvoient le vieux couple à sa solitude."
"Sentimental historia (con matices autobiográficos) sobre la amistad entre un viejo antisemita y un niño judío durante la ocupación alemana de Francia en la Segunda Guerra Mundial."
"Fiction. Comédie dramatique. "Durant le second conflit mondial, un petit garçon juif est recueilli par deux personnes âgées."--[allocine.com]. Avec Michel Simon, Alain Cohen, Luce Fabiole."
"Director Claude Berri's introduction on the title screens reads "This film is a true story but seen through the imagination a child particularly sensitive to the tragic events which surrounded him in occupied France. The warm affection of this family of good people who took him in nevertheless leaves him with a certain poetic nostalgia for this time and a deep gratitude toward them." This film is his re-telling and re-creation of the life of a small Jewish boy from in Nazi-occupied Paris, sent by his parents to the countryside to live with an elderly Catholic couple until France's liberation. Forced to hide his identity, eight-year-old Claude bonds with the irascible, staunchly anti-Semitic Grampa, who improbably becomes his friend and confidant."
