Resistance (2020) - full transcript

And they lived happily...

- Ever after!
- Ever after!

Shema Israel?

Shema Israel, Hashem Eloheinu,
Hashem Echad.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Love you.

Love you, too. Goodnight.

- Father...
- Mh-hm?

Why do they hate us?

I don't think they hate us.

Hitler is just blaming us
for the suffering



of the working class

and some people
choose to believe him.

But why?

It's not a simple
answer...

...but I can tell you this..

The economy is getting better.

And soon they will stop focusing
on who to blame

for what didn't work,
and everyone will set their eyes

on building a better future.

We just have to keep
contributing our part

to Germany,
like we have always done.

Go to sleep now.

You have school tomorrow,
and you are too young

to worry about
these things, hm.



- Love you.
- I love you, too.

Ten-hut!

General Patton.

Good evening, soldiers!

Good evening, sir!

At ease!

If we take the generally
accepted definition of bravery

as a quality which knows no fear

I have never seen a brave man.

All men are frightened.

Courage is no more than fear

holding on a minute longer.

Now imagine fighting this war
as a civilian.

Imagine not knowing
how to shoot a gun

and challenging the Nazis
to save lives.

I've just heard
an incredible story.

I'd like to share it with you.

Because it's a story

about one of those unique
human beings

that makes your sacrifices

and your heroism

completely worth it.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Father!
What a surprise to see you!

How dare you?

Did you like my show?

You are a clown dressed like
Hitler in a whorehouse..

Papa, it's not Hitler, it's
Chaplin and it's a cabaret..

Oh, I apologize
for my confusion.

Father, I'm an actor.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

We have to start early tomorrow.
Let's go home. Go.

Mrs. Garber is coming.
Mrs. Garber is coming.

- Hello, Mrs. Garber.
- Hello.

- How is Emma?
- She's good, thank you.

How come you always
ask about her?

Actually, my father wants me
to marry her.

- Really?
- Really.

Is that true, Charles?

Is she Jewish?

- I think so.
- Then, no.

Why?

I wouldn't wish on
any Jewish girl

the infinite disgrace of dealing
for life with this useless bum

who wants to be a clown
and has the muscles of a ghost.

Well, most of that is true.

Emma is the only Jewish woman
in the world

who doesn't want to marry.

You shouldn't waste your time.

Thank you.

- I don't think that worked.
- No, I think it did.

- She now thinks you are a bum.
- No, no.

Psychological projection,
according to Dr. Freud.

- Never heard of him.
- I know. Uh..

Blaming others can lead to
a "kick the dog" effect

where individuals in a hierarchy

blame their immediate
subordinate

and this propagates
down the chain

until the lowest rung.

What does that even mean?

It means if the butcher thinks
you are a bum

you are probably a genius.

- Mh-hm!
- Yes.

- Ah!
- Tell Dr. Freud to cure that!

- Good evening, uncle.
- Shalom, Georges.

Do you mind if I talk to Marcel
for a second?

I've told you a million times,
I'm a serious actor, okay?

I'm not a clown.

I just need your help.
These kids went through a lot.

What do I care
what they went through?

- Don't say that.
- I'm saying it.

I'm saying. I'm sorry,
I don't care, okay?

I'm not good with children.

You know, I have no patience.
Sorry.

You know, I barely have time
to work with my father

he now wants me there all day.

I have an entire play
I'm working on

where I interpret 30 different
characters.

- Thirty!
- Marcel!

- What?
- These are Jewish orphans.

I know that. I know that.
You know, I.. sorry, I..

I definitely have
an alive Jewish father.

That hasn't made my life
any easier.

That's a horrible thing to say.

- How do you want me to help?
- Go work on your play.

- Ah..
- You have many characters to write.

- Georges!
- Go away.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Hi, Flore.

I just saw your mother.

She was telling my father
that I should marry you, hm.

Strange. That generation,
I guess, they're old, you know.

They don't understand that,
of course, we would only

get married for love.

And you couldn't find love
at the cabaret, could you?

Hey, don't believe everything
you hear about that place.

- Okay?
- I'm sure it's very reputable.

Well, art can happen anywhere.

Okay, look at, uh,
look at Marcel Duchamp.

I don't know who that is.

Yes, well, you should before you
judge an artist by his canvas.

And your canvas is the cabaret?

Yes. No. No, what?
Who are you again?

- The girl you want to marry.
- Excuse me, no, no.

I don't want to marry you.

Your mother wants you
to marry me

and I was just being polite
to her.

There they are!

- How many did you say?
- 123 children.

The foundation paid a fortune
for their lives.

Their parents were just killed
by Nazis.

Marcel..

You want to look?

- Are you ready?
- I am.

Why is my brother here?

I thought he may clown
for the kids.

He only cares about himself.

And God forbid you call him
clown, he'll get all crazy.

Look, if he doesn't help,
we'll send him home

but at this point
we need everyone.

Alright. That bus is not enough.

It's all we've got.

I can get our father's truck.

That's a good idea.

Make sure there's no knives
or meat in there.

The children are afraid.

Go.

Alright.

Come on. Let's go.

What's wrong? Let's go.

Hmm.

Let's go.

Do you wanna come down?

This way. Careful.

It's okay.

Easy! Don't be this way.

Oh, oh. Calm down.
Everybody, calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. There is food
for everyone.

There's no need to fight.

Sit down at the table.
No, no need..

- I'll give you this..
- No pushing.

Georges. Georges,
please help me.

Try this one.

- Is it too big?
- No, it's fine.

It's alright.

You are becoming a big girl.

Come with me.

Mila, I'll be right back.

Am I going to be okay?

You are okay.

This happens to every woman.

It happens to me.

It just means you are growing.

So, from now on,
once a month for a few days

you are going to have to wear
one of these.

What's that?

It's a special napkin

that makes sure the blood
doesn't reach your clothes.

It's only going to last
for a few days.

It's like, um, a rehearsal
to prepare for the day

many years from now, when you
are ready to have a baby.

No. No running. No, no.
There is no need to run.

You're gonna hurt yourself.

Calm down everyone.

Please, no standing
on the table.

Be nice to each other.
You're family now.

This is your new home.

What's he doing?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Blow!

Blow.

Go.

You dress like a clown,
you paint a clown.

What can I do for you?

You rub the brush on paint,
you draw a face.

I'm not going to say it's ugly,
I think you are getting better.

I just never quiet understood
why does anyone do it

even when it's great.

Tell me. Why do you do it?

Why do you go to the bathroom?

Oh, you need not
to offend your father.

No, no.
No, I'm not offending you.

I'm, I'm asking.
Why do you go to the bathroom?

Because my body
gives me no choice.

There it is.

That's my answer
to your question.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Ah, steak. How original.
Wh... where did you get this?

Thanks.
Where did you get that suit?

Actually, it's not a suit.
This is a feminine undergarment.

- I took it from mother.
- Charles..

Alain thinks Hitler is going to
invade Poland

and the war is gonna spill
all over France.

Hitler has zero chance
against France. He's bluffing.

I almost wish he makes
that blunder so we destroy him.

- Have you heard him talk?
- Ah!

Talk, talk, talk, talk.

Populist talk so that idiots
can rage with euphoria

and feel better about their
miserable lives.

I think Alain has a point

and we should be ready
in case we have to leave.

I left Poland to escape
anti-Semitism

and now you're telling me
to prepare to leave again?

No. No.

Yeah, me too.
I... I can't just leave.

Because of the children? Wow.

The children? I'm helping
the children as much as I can

but I'm working on my play,
okay?

I'm upstairs painting
the backdrops myself.

- Thank you very much.
- Yeah, I'm stupid.

For a second I thought you had
started caring

about someone
other than yourself.

So.. Why would the children
be my responsibility?

Maybe because
they are the only ones

who don't consider your art

completely ridiculous.

There are 123 children
in that castle.

Please, tell me, where... where
are we supposed to take them?

Do whatever you want.

You keep calling Marcel selfish.

Yeah.

But last I heard he's there

helping children every day

while you are theorizing
about Hitler.

How long has it been?

About a year
since they got here.

Hello, Alain.

Come on. Let's go.

- Marcel!
- Oh, no. Incoming. Incoming.

Ah!

Oh, oh, please, help me.
Please, help me.

Oh, okay. Whoa! W... whoa!

Okay, thank you very much.
I hope you're happy now.

- Marcel?
- Yes?

- Can I tell you a secret?
- Yes. Quickly.

Emma likes you.

Okay. Yes. Oh, hello.

- So, you like her, too?
- Oh, oh, yes.

I... it's a great book. We are
talking about something else.

Entirely different.

I like every princess
in this castle. Okay?

Maybe next time you want say it
a little louder.

- I will.
- Broadcast it over the radio please.

- Bye, Marcel!
- Goodbye.

- Ah, Georges. Hello, Flore.
- Hello, Marcel.

Alain!

Hey! Georges!

- Good to see you!
- Hello, Alain. Good to see you!

Tell me, what do you know?

No more than
what's on the radio.

But we must prepare everyone
to move south.

The children
are finally settled.

It would be irresponsible not to
start looking for alternatives.

What alternatives?
You've got another castle?

Uh, no, no. Alain believes
having them all in one place

is dangerous in itself. Right?

I'm not sure I follow.

Hitler's rise is empowering
the worst possible groups.

Everybody knows Jewish children
are living here.

You don't want this place
to become a target.

I'm not going to bring them
more instability

just because you suddenly feel
it may get dangerous.

You are a mile away
from Nazi Germany

where an extremely popular
leader is preparing

the most powerful army
in the history of Europe

to conquer a neighboring country

while he blames
all possible evil on the Jews.

Can I have one apple?

Sure.

- Be gentle.
- Yeah.

I think all he is saying is
we should prepare for the worst.

And he's right.
There is no other option.

I also think I should get
started with their training.

Training for what?

They are children.

We need to train them
to survive.

- Nazis! Nazis!
- Nazis! Nazis!

Hurry, Joseph!

Juden?

Juden? You maybe?

Juden on the trees.

- Don't do that!
- Come down, Joseph!

- Ah!
- Yes.

Listen.

Your life and that of
all your friends

will depend on your silence.

We're not playing here.

But Marcel is still funny,
Nazis are not.

You see?

Okay, everyone, come down.

Now, have you seen
a squirrel hide?

A squirrel?

The squirrel does not find
a place to hide in the tree.

No, the squirrel
finds a place to hide

where she can become
a part of the tree.

Now, the trick
i... is not to make sure

that they don't see you

but that even if they do see you

what they see does not catch
their attention.

Make the invisible visible

and the visible, invisible.

Marcel?

- Can't see him.
- Where is he?

Where's he gone?

Marcel?

- Marcel?
- Where'd he go?

Get in. Get in. Come on.

Yes, come in. It's cold,
it's freezing.

Come in.

As a result of the German
invasion of Poland..

...the French Government
has ordered all citizens

to evacuate all border towns
in the next ten days.

We need to tell the kids
we are leaving.

I'll be sending telegrams
to the Jewish communities

to ask families to receive.

Families can take some,
but there's too many.

What do you suggest?

We're gonna need the church
to receive some of the children.

The religious kids are
always talking about how mad

their parents will be if they
find out they broke kosher laws

and you want to send them
to a church?

The Jewish law can be broken
in life threatening situations.

Maybe it's time
to be honest with them.

I don't know how we're supposed
to tell them that this is over.

Are you not going to say
anything?

Thank you.

Next week is Rosh Hashana.

A very special one..

Alright. I know. It's okay.

...because we welcome
not only a new year..

There we go.

...but a new century.

We are going to receive
the year 5700.

In every generation
they rise up against us.

Sometimes, a powerful man

sometimes, an army

or a nation tries to destroy
the Jewish people.

But here we are, together

knowing that this time too,
the Holy One, blessed be He

will rescue us from their hands.

We're going to continue
taking care of you.

But for a while, we won't be
staying all together.

And because of that

we decided to blow
the shofar now

one week before Rosh Hashana

so that you have this moment

and that sound to remind you

that you are not alone.

Alright, everyone.
Let's go to the South!

We already placed forty
with Jewish families

twelve with Gentiles,
sixteen in catholic schools

and thirty in the orphanage
of Izieu..

That's a hundred out,
twenty more to go.

I wish, but we're expecting
dozens of new orphans

to arrive from Germany.

- You ready?
- Yes, I am.

- What are you doing?
- Hi.

There's a group in Lyon
arming themselves to fight back.

I know some of those guys.

De Gaulle is helping them from
Britain with money and weapons.

It's a well-organized force.
If you want to join them..

Oh, no, I, I don't fight, okay?
I think, therefore I am.

We've been thinking
for 5000 years.

Maybe it's time
to try something else.

Do you really think I could
help anyone with a gun?

Of course not.

Okay.

Look at this, Emma.

Marcel Marceau.

- It's perfect.
- Let me see.

It's a great name.

- Heil Hitler!
- Heil Hitler!

You're gonna visit me, right?

You know, if you don't visit me,
I'll forget about you.

Thank you.

Come, come, come, come.

Let's go.

Goodnight.

What?

- Why are we kissing? Okay.
- Shut up!

Passports, please.

Yes, yes. Of course.

Please don't tell my father
about this. He knows nothing.

Who's your father?

What are you laughing at?

Please don't tell him.
My father will kill me.

No, the officer won't say a word

or he will be killed
by your father.

I'm sorry. Please don't.

Okay.

Miss Garneau, I'm not interested
in your father.

Whatever your naughty business
is with this man

who is clearly
not of your class..

But I want this to be
the last time I find you

in the mist of
indecent activity

or I will have to bring you
to your father myself.

Thank you, officer.

Go home.

Elise Leroy.

- Everything okay?
- Yes, yes.

The priest seems like
a good person, right?

Elsbeth is strong.

Yes, yes.

- Okay. Listen.
- Yeah.

The, uh, the Resistance group
in Lyon.

- What?
- How could we join them?

Who?

What do you mean who?
Me. Us.

- You?
- Yes. Me.

What happened?

We just got stopped by these
Vichy officers

you know, and... I, I just..

I don't want to keep,
like, running, you know

without doing something
about it.

Listen... these Lyon fighters,
they're serious

tough folks,
risking their lives for France.

They get approached by
infiltrators on a regular basis

and if I make contact,
there's no turning back.

- I know.
- If you're just mad because you got stopped.

No, I'm not just mad.

No, I'm... I'm ready to fight.

Georges is expecting more
children.

Yeah, well, Georges
will take care of them.

He is a saint.
I will talk to him.

I thought you'd be,
you know, proud of me.

- I'm proud of you.
- Okay. Maybe you could say..

- I'm proud of you.
- Okay. Thank you.

But first you must
talk to our father.

To tell him it's your decision.

Okay, I will go tell him.

You know where he is?

- In the apartment.
- No.

Marcel?

What in the world
did I just see?

You were in there?

I saw you from upstairs.

Did you like it?

You can sing.

That's what
I always wanted to do

but my father was a butcher,
his father was a butcher.

I couldn't just become a singer.

And now you can.

Yes.

Because now I have nothing.

They took everything
but my voice.

So, so wh... why did you
fight my passion?

Because I didn't want you
to starve.

Because most artists cannot make
a living, you know?

At least a butcher
will never be hungry.

That was,
that was a great performance.

- So, you liked it?
- I did like it. I... I..

- Yes?
- I would relax on stage more.

- That's it. I'd just..
- Ah, so, you didn't like it?

Excuse.. Uh, I did like it.

I'm saying,
I think you could enjoy it more

and then, you know,
we would feel it.

Okay, I tell you something.

Maybe, when the,
when the war is over..

Mm.

...we, we could..

...we can perform together.

Alain and I are joining
the Resistance.

May Hashem protect you both.

No, no, no.
Don't stop. Don't stop.

Let's go! Let's go!

There is Marcel. Marcel!

There is Emma!
There is Emma!

Get in. Get in. Get in.

Go, go, go, go.

Oh, my God.

Welcome to the Resistance.

Sit down.

Who is Marcel?

Me.

Your passports are impressive.

Thank you, sir..
Madam.

Sir is fine, if it helps you.

We're about to receive 20
fighters from Britain.

- How long would they take you?
- Twenty?

Well, you may think it's some kind
of, like, a mechanical process, okay?

But it actually takes real art to
study the curves and the movement of

excuse me,
of each letter.

The strength with which it was
written

because it wasn't the same
person who did each passport.

And the combination of colors
that gives you a black

that looks authentic,
because believe it or not

black has different tones, okay?

And it varies
from city to city...

How long?

Twenty would take me a day.

They're landing in an hour.

An hour?

We've been here for an hour.
You could have told me.

Most of Europe is crying
in surrender

while the city of Lyon
has the only Resistance

that is truly hurting
the Nazis.

You can sit there
or you can tell me

what you need to get them done
in an hour.

Give us 20 French passports.

Let Marcel choose the names.
He'll get it done.

We're leaving in 20 minutes.
Only Marcel comes with us.

I've never met a Jewish painter.

You don't have to
pretend with me.

Thank you, but there are plenty
of Jewish painters.

But it's not your people's forte

when you compare it to writers,
scientists, and you know why?

Because your religion doesn't
let you draw God.

Which is also why
so many people hate you.

They get afraid when they can't
see who you are praying to.

No, they hate us because for centuries
they've been told that we killed Christ.

The entire epic
of the Jewish people

is that those who were slaves
in Egypt liberated themselves

to create their own society.

No symbol is more dangerous
for oppressors than Jews

because Jews
are emancipated slaves.

Huh.

I thought you were asleep.

Well, you certainly weren't.

What do you mean?

What?

I didn't even know
you liked him.

I don't tell you everything.

Where is he now?

He went to buy cigarettes.

So, did you..

Tell me!

I love him.

So, you did it.

What? Tell me!

Nazis! Nazis!

Nazis! Nazis!

They're here.

What is that?

- Get the bags!
- Okay.

- Name.
- Jason Baker.

Let's go.

Welcome to the Resistance.

Stop.

- Don't move!
- Hands in the air!

Put your hands in the air!

No, no, no, no.
No, no, don't shoot!

It's my brother.
Don't shoot!

It's my brother.
Alain. Alain?

What happened?

The Gestapo.

They took everyone.

Emma and Mila.

Two Jewish sisters caught

fighting with
the French Resistance.

This can end right now if you
tell me where are the men.

Mm.

Mila, you stay here.

Mila. Shh, shh.

Right there. Don't move!

Where are you taking her?

Are you familiar
with the word flaying?

Also known colloquially
as skinning.

No?

It is a method of a slow
and painful execution

in which the skin
is removed from the body

while the person
is still alive.

An attempt is made to keep the
removed portion of skin intact

and to keep
the person conscious

for the majority
of the procedure.

You are going to kill me anyway.
What difference does it make?

No, Emma.

I've decided
I'm not going to kill you.

I'm going to do that to your
sister... in front of you.

Why?

Because you don't want to
tell me where the men are.

If I can't capture them

I at least want you
to go back to them

and tell them
what you've endured.

To see if they want to continue
with their pointless Resistance.

I don't know where they are.

- I don't know!
- Ugh.

I swear.

I don't believe that.

Emma?

What did you do to her?

I didn't,
I didn't even touch her.

He wants to know where they are.

Don't tell him.

He will kill us all the same!

So, you do know!

- I don't.
- You do know!

- I don't!
- You do know!

- I don't. I don't!
- Kill me. I don't care.

We won't be traitors.
We won't be collaborators.

I respect that, you see..

We won't be collaborators.

All these other people,
no dignity.

I would rather die like you
than live like them.

Don't say anything, please.

Don't say anything.

Don't say anything,
Emma, please.

I don't care what he does.
I don't.

- Please do not do that.
- Please, Emma.

- No, don't. Please
- Emma, no. No, Emma, Emma.

- No. Please. Don't!
- Please, Emma. Emma, please!

- No!
- Don't do that! Don't do that!

No, don't!

We have to go in.

- We have to go in.
- No, no.

- Klaus Barbie.
- Yeah. I see him.

What you looking at?
It's fine, it's fine. It's fine.

- It's her.
- Of course, it's her.

Where's Mila?

Nobody should bother you
as long as you're wearing this.

Where is she?

She's going in
the train station.

Where the hell is Mila?

I don't know.
Emma will tell us.

They'll catch us
as soon as we approach her.

Okay. Okay, listen to me.

Okay, bring the guards
towards you and run.

- I'm going in.
- It's too dangerous.

So, let them kill me.

Go. Be safe.

What are you doing?

We must train and grow
with the Resistance.

We need to find guns.
We need to learn how to shoot.

We need to learn explosives.

They're not humans.

No human would do that
to another.

While you were there..

...I... I filled myself
with hate

and of course I did feel
an urge for revenge

but... the more I thought
about it

the only thing in my mind..

...was why are we here..

...fighting a war we can't win..

...when we could be taking
orphan children

to another country
before the Nazis get to them?

We can't leave now.

But what... what can we
truly accomplish?

We can fight back.

We found homes for the children.
Safe places.

No place is safe for them

as long as they're in a country
that's occupied by Nazis

and the little fighting
that we can do...

We can slow them down.

We can make it impossible
for them in France.

What is it the Nazis want?

What?

They don't care about
Klaus Barbie

you know,
or a bunch of Gestapo slaves

that we may kill,
if we are lucky...

No, you are right.

They care about killing us
like they killed her.

So, what's the best way
to resist?

It's not to kill them.

They're ready to die!

If you want to resist

we have to make sure
more Jews survive.

How can you not want to go
and murder him?

Of course,
I want to murder Barbie.

I want Hitler to die as well,
but we can't kill all the Nazis.

- We can kill some.
- Mm-hmm.

Or you can save some lives.

And maybe one day those Nazis
will be captured..

...while the kids we saved
go on and... and form families.

What about those
who already died?

What do you think
they would want us to do?

Risk our lives
to take revenge on their killers

or do it to help
their orphans survive?

We have to save the children.

We will.

Germany, Poland.

All over Europe.

We're gonna be receiving
50 to 100 orphans a month.

Listen, we want to help you
take them out of France.

Take them where?

Even the allies have reached
their cap on refugees.

What about Switzerland?

You plan to take children
across snow covered mountains?

At least it's safe here.

They are not safe.

If they are captured in the Alps

we'll not only have to carry
the responsibility of a disgrace

but we will also lose the
credibility and the funding

we need to take care
of the rest of the children.

They are not safe.

Georges, listen..

...let us take a small group..

...to see if we can get across
the border.

Please.

Shh, shh.
Shh. Shh.

- No, Marcel. What..
- Shh, shh.

- Where have you been?
- Shh, shh. Shh.

Go on, kids.

Do what Marcel and Emma
and Alain say

and I promise
everything will be fine.

Thank you.

Thank you for saving our lives.

- Thank you!
- Go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go.
Let's go now. Out. Go out.

Alright. Let's go.

- Alright.
- Come on, kids. Let's go.

Come on.

- There you go. Here.
- Goodbye.

Go, son.

You and mother need to
get out of Europe as well.

Go! Go!

I understand there's a meeting
about visas for foreign Jews.

No, I..

The least guarded place at the
border is the end of this ridge.

We're gonna go through this forest,
which is supposed to be easier.

That will take us to a path
leading down the ridge

down this mountain... to Geneva.

And there's a... a trail
down the ridge?

Yes.

Emma... you can tell me
about Mila.

I mean, I lost my father
and my mother.

People always feel sorry
for those who die.

They should feel worse
for those who live.

There... there are lots of
beautiful things in life.

If you could share it.

Mila is no longer with us..

...but we are here to make sure
that you are all safe.

Mila wouldn't want me to be sad.

And I'm sure your parents
would want you to be happy.

We were never sad.

Come here.

I didn't know
there was a stop in Lyon.

It should be only a minute.

He's here!

Who is?

Barbie.

No.

- I have to jump.
- No, no, no. No.

Okay, singing position.

If he recognizes me,
he's gonna kill them all!

We cannot just leave you. Here!

Oh, okay, go. Go, go, go.
Come, come, come.

Lock the door.
Lock the door.

Everyone, "Ave Maria."

Where are you headed?

We are going hiking in Jonage.

Passports please.

Yes.

Mm, that is our young soprano,
Joseph.

- What are you doing?
- Me?

- You want them to laugh at us?
- Oh, no.

I would, I would never.

They are children.
I'm an educator.

What good does it do
to teach them fear?

- Come with me.
- Huh?

I said come with me.

Spread your legs!

Show me your pockets.

Show me your pockets.

It's just a spoon
and here's money.

What's this?

It's a mustache.

You're making fun of the Fuhrer?

No, no, uh,
with all due respect, officer

it's a,
it's a Charlie Chaplin mustache.

I think it's important
to help the children laugh

in the middle of this war.

The girl..

How old is she?

She, uh..

She is, uh, fourteen.

You should help her
nurture her voice.

It's very special.

- That's what we are here for.
- Let me ask you something.

Yes, sir.

I have a daughter.

How do you think

I can help make sure she becomes
interested in the arts?

How old is she?

She is just a baby.

I'm not talking about
what to do immediately.

Hm.

But as a strategy to build her
personality for the future.

Try not to impose it.

The more that you impose it..

...I think, the more she will
rebel against it.

Let her find her passion.

Stay out of her way,
you know, if anything

push her in the opposite
direction.

Tell her arts are,
are for the weak

and she'll want to
prove you wrong.

That's very interesting.

Very interesting.

Thank you.

Go.

Now.

Max!

Thank you, sir.

It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. Come here.

Come here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Go slowly.

Go slowly. Come here, Jerry.
Come here.

Okay, come here.

Okay.

Come on.

I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm sorry.

- I'm fine.
- Come here.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Let's take a break over there.

Okay.

Okay?

Thank you.

You are amazing.

It's because of you.

What does that mean?

When we met, you were only
interested in yourself.

I'm still only
interested in myself.

Put it out.

- Shhh.
- Come on.

Okay. Everybody to the trees!

- Leave the bags.
- Leave the bags.

Leave the bags.

Let's go.

- Come!
- Come on, let's move.

Come on.
Let's move. Go, go!

Go, go.

- Go!
- No!

- Are you okay?
- Hurry!

Come on. Come on, quick.

Okay, let's go, up to the trees!

Up! Hurry up. Up.

Okay. Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me! Look at me!

Eyes on Marcel, eyes on Marcel.

Don't look down.

Halt!

To the ridge!

Let's go!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Is this the ridge?
- I hope so.

Everyone..

Jump!

Go! Jump!
Go! Jump!

- Go!
- Go!

Jump!

- I can't. I can't.
- You have to. Jump!

Emma!

Emma!

Jump! Jump!

Emma..

Emma?

Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, careful.

- Come here.
- Bring her here.

Are... are all the children
here?

- Yes.
- Bring them up!

They can see her.

Emma!

Where's Emma?

- Over there! Over there!
- Oh!

Emma!

- Sit here.
- Emma!

Emma! Emma! Emma!

Emma! Emma!

Do... do you hear me?
It's Marcel.

It's Marcel.
Do you hear me?

Emma, listen to me!
It's okay. Are you okay?

The kids are all here.
It's okay.

It's okay. Please, Emma.
Please, talk to me.

Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?

Emma?

Emma, talk to me!

Emma!

Oh!

Do you need help?

Help? Wh..

Where... where are we?

In the Alps.

Yes... yes,
but, but what... what country?

You came all the way
from France?

Fra..

Switzerland?

Yes, we are.

We made it!

We made it!

Look at that!

Let's go! Let's go!

He risked his life many times
by crossing the Alps

to take orphans to safety.

He is personally
directly responsible

for saving hundreds of children.

And indirectly responsible
for saving thousands.

He's now
one of our liaison officers.

But he's also an actor

and you are about to see his

first official
public performance.

Soldiers, remember his name..

...because he will
never forget you..

Marcel Marceau!
