Early one morning, Sarah and her mother were notified that they would immediately pick up simple things and follow the arrivals to the Jewish settlement. Sarah at that time was a little girl in her teens. She loved her four-year-old brother very much. She thought they would come back soon. She also thought that her father, who was just out of the house, could go home and save her brother. She couldn't bear to let her brother out. After being taken away, Sarah told her four-year-old brother that she would come back soon to find him if he wanted him to hide in a closet that only their family knew about, as he used to hide and seek with her.
There was only enough time for Sarah to prepare a small amount of water and food for her brother. In order to prevent anyone from finding her brother, Sarah locked the door of the closet and held the key tightly in her hand.
Sarah did not expect that she and her parents would be taken to the concentration camp. Although Sarah wanted to tell others about her younger brother several times on the way, she also wanted to find a chance to escape. a month later.
On the way home to save her brother, Sarah met people who kindly helped her and was able to take the train back to Paris, but when she returned home, she found that their house had been occupied by others, and her brother had been forever Left in the closet, I will never see my sister who loves me so much.
Fifty years later, the house of Sarah's family was given to their daughter-in-law by the residents at the time, who happened to be a reporter in the editorial department who had been in charge of investigating the history of the cleansing of Jews in France. Through the investigation of the original occupants of her house, she restored the experience of the Sarah family little by little, so that the history that was deliberately hidden and gradually faded in everyone's memory was brought to life.
The experience of Sarah's family not only brought a lifetime of pain to the surviving Sarah, but also brought unspeakable pressure to the residents who lived in Sarah's house later.
Sarah was distraught when she saw her brother in the closet. Later, after being adopted by a kind peasant couple, she left without saying goodbye when she was eighteen years old. After marrying in the United States, her son was in a car accident when he was ten years old. suicide.
Sarah's husband loves her deeply, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't get rid of Sarah's grief from the bottom of her heart. His son was well-protected by his mother, who had no knowledge of Sarah's experience, nor did he know that his mother was a survivor of the concentration camp.
After Sara opened the cupboard to know the truth, the later residents secretly sent Sara living expenses until Sara left. Because the resident's son knew the secret of the cabinet, he never dared to open the safe left by his father, until his daughter-in-law opened it for him and told his father to always send money to Sarah to redeem them in this way. Take a breath.
Only by facing it bravely can we relieve the weight that has been weighing on those who have experienced that period of history for decades.
I like the heroine of this movie very much, because of her, I found this movie by accident.
Kristin Scott Thomas, who looks too thin and not very glamorous on the outside, is very good at acting as a woman with a relatively high level of education, a little neurotic, and a cold appearance on the inside. In this film, she plays the persevering journalist who insists that the mistakes of history can be forgiven, but not forgotten. Only by facing and remembering the mistakes that have occurred can we learn lessons and never make them again.
"Sarah's Key" opens up a history that was deliberately hidden by the people who lived through those events. The reason why history becomes history is because it has actually happened and people cannot avoid it. To be able to get rid of the pressure caused by history, you must face up to that real event and the painful lessons that history has left you. Only in this way can you comfort each other in your future life and make yourself truly redeemed. .
