La Vie devant moi

"My Life Ahead" tells the story of 13-year-old Tauba Birenbaum and her family hiding in a small room for 765 days following the roundup of Jewish families at Vel’ d’Hiv’ in Paris in 1942. Living conditions are tough and they live in fear of being discovered at any moment. However, as her family succumbs to despair, Tauba's fighting spirit shines. She finds joy in every small thing, from a piano drawn on the ground to the view of Paris from an open window. Despite extreme conditions, she will maintain hope until the liberation of Paris and take back control of her life.

The film reminds its viewers of the importance of hope and resilience while also showing how resilient people can be in one of the darkest periods of history.

The film was shot in Paris, the capital of France.
