Synopsis
1942. Joseph is eleven. And this June morning, he must go to school,
a yellow star sown on his chest. He receives the support of a goods
dealer. The mockery of a baker. Between kindness and contempt, Jo,
his Jewish friends, their families, learn of life in an occupied
Paris, on the Butte Montmartre, where they've taken shelter.
At least that's what they think, until that morning on July 16th
1942, when their fragile happiness is toppled over. From the Vélodrome
D'Hiver, where 13 000 Jews are crammed, to the camp of
Beaune-La-Rolande, from Vichy to the terrace of the Berghof, THE
ROUND-UP follows the real destinies of the victims and the
executioners. Of those who orchestrated it all. Of those who trusted
them. Of those who fled. Of those who opposed them.
