Secret Name

France 2021 | 112 minutes | French | Hebrew, English subtitles

1914. Nelie escapes a miserable existence and becomes a nurse. On her way to the frontline, she takes the identity of a woman who died in a bombing. The new identity brings her to the house of a Swiss noble family, where she enjoys the good life in the company of Madame de Lengwil. But any lie has an expiration date, and Nelie's is fast approaching. A successful adaptation of Wilkie Collins' The New Magdalen, Secret Name is a delightful period piece.

Original title:
La place d'une autre
